Evergreen garden shrubs

Which alternative do you plan after this negative experience with Thuja?

Nothing, our new garden will only be partially visible from one side - the neighbor living to our left. We will buy a wire mesh fence because we have a large dog. At the end of the garden, the city will create a 20-meter-wide green strip, and since we have a corner plot, there is an embankment to the street on the right that is already planted. Possibly, we will design the side facing the left neighbor with pillars or gabions, we’ll see...

we have also planted our bamboos in rhizome barriers, so there are no problems.

Best regards

I’m copying here a text on the topic of rhizome or bamboo barriers from the site Bambus-Lexikon.de:



I can therefore understand Deliverer’s statement.

I don’t. Anyone who wants to plant any kind of plant in their garden should also familiarize themselves with the species.
I had bamboo without a barrier in a small terraced house garden and now also in the large garden, central and close to the terrace.
And yes: they are Fargesia varieties.

If someone asks a general question, they get a general answer from me. Everything else is a waste of time – also for me as a mod.
OP has not been seen since Tuesday!

However, I also gave the tip for a gardening book, the book could also be useful for ;)

I am always grateful for tips as well :)

A gardening book is as important as a cookbook :cool:

I had interpreted the tip differently. I was given a gardening book as a gift, but I never use it because the Internet is much more convenient, and we also rarely use cookbooks. Everyday cooking we do by feel, and if it's something special, I also get information from the Internet. There you can sometimes also find reviews, which the cookbook lacks. Good recipes are then sometimes printed out and put into the personal cooking folder.

Off Topic:


That's basically how I do it nowadays too :)
But I have to say: since people started getting paid for posts, and there are some collusions between websites and companies, you rarely find the right information anymore. 5-10 years ago, things looked quite different.

Try searching the web for an authentic spaghetti carbonara recipe: almost all recipes have cream, but that’s unfortunately not authentic.
I’m currently looking for a typical pasta dough recipe – opinions differ there too. Not in my old Italian cookbook.

I also cook by feel, but sometimes you want to create something great (Saturday evening menu) – I like to get inspired online then, but it gives me chills when someone uses long grain rice for a risotto. Or some all-purpose Chinese spice blend for something Asian. In that respect, I keep my older books, which helped me before the authenticity started to decline due to the internet and Thermomix ;)

Another example:
According to the web, all types of sage are edible. Just three weeks ago I googled a faux pas (on several sites), told the neighbor something wrong, and then got the correct info :oops:

I google a lot, very much – also about plants. And I click through the web and read seven out of ten posts that are identical, of course on different websites/providers.

If you visit a review site for a new purchase, Amazon reviews will be shown to you.
Other posts are sponsored and so people write exactly these kinds of tests – do I think badly when I doubt the truth?
The imprint is always interesting; often it’s the same for several unrelated test objects :D

If you google superficially, you will probably find horror stories about bamboo – that definitely doesn’t have to be so. But that might only be in a good garden book or on a site that you don’t find quickly because it doesn’t have cross-promotional links.

In this case: Of course, a visit to the gardener helps too; but honestly – certain questions are answered when you just step outside. If you don’t like that, you resort to a good book, which is gladly a little pricier, double digits, naturally :)

There are fields where not much changes. In those cases, a good book is worth it! Other fields change constantly, and then I’d prefer the web, but with sharpened eyes to check if the page is reputable.
