That's a good plan I rekon, I'm doing the same thing. Five units nearly finished next door with the drive down our boundary so no idea what sort of light polution we will end up with. I have started planting pitosporums down the fence line. Iv'e been picking up one or two with each trip to the big green shed. Another week or so and I should be done
yep who would have thought the inner Gardener in us would come out
I planted a row of seven Leighton Green trees a couple of years ago as light blockers. They are really taking off now, over fence height and in another year should block a street light up the hill. I fear they will get out of control but at least they do the job.

Here you go..I was told to plant them two metres apart as they will grow together without crowding each other. I will have to keep a couple of them trimmed around the support posts for the ROR. They are on the south side of that fence so they suffered abit the first year until they got enough height to get more sun. My neighbor a few doors down has a couple that are two years older than mine and his are five metres high and about three metres wide.

Terrific David. I'm gonna look into these shrubs for hedging, they look neat. I was about to say the same thing, geez your boy shot up! My "baby girl" is taking me over in height too.

ok only planted those at Christmas, so they are growing, all be it uneven.
Yes mate we have reached the age when our kids are taller than us, a long way from being held entirely in one hand
well now for today's effort. OMG i ache all over, can't squat, can't bend over, can't use my arms much but its worth it. I couldn't have finished this without the help of Al - and his long lost nail gun. hammering and screwing and not getting very far on the bracing - I would have been there for a year then i asked the right question for once, might go to bunnings and hire a nail gun? then Al says oh wait i have one........
