My house has been subject to ever increasing traffic over the years, especially since they put a new road through. Now they are building a roundabout right next to my house. This will be wonderful for astronomy with extra lights and cars... NOT!!! So in desperation I've decided to plant a hedge to try and keep the lights out, without keeping the stars out. During my travels trying to find out hedge information I found this funny site.
http://www.hellohello.com.au/begone.html ( I hope I can post links?) This bloke reckons his hedge is so thick he can run around inside it naked with complete privacy!
Anyway I'm gunna give a hedge a try, using slightly different trees but the same techniques. Just high enough so the traffic be gone but not so high that the stars be gone! The lights will still light up the sky though. Not much I can do about that, except move.
Maybe 1Ponders can give me a few planting tips, hint hint.
