They LOVE digging! And you see the landscaping challenge - a cyclone fence, a need for privacy in a subdivision. We're lucky, the lots here were put in in the early 60s, they're big by today's standards. But it's still too close together. You see your neighbor coming out of his or her door when you are coming out of yours. The goal is to screen it off with plantings. Trees, and vines. The vines will cover that cyclone fence. (They have since covered that fence) Ivy, honeysuckle, potato vines, passion flowers and jasmine. And they have to beat back the blackberries which grow rampant and are impossible to eradicate. (They haven't beaten back the blackberries, primarily because you cannot control what your neighbors do, or don't, do)
