| The stob garden backs up on the parking lot of a church (Seventh-Day Adventist on Saturdays, something else on Sundays). It has a fence, too, and there's a kind of no-man's-land between their fence and mine. The parking lot is also raised a little higher than the land on which my condo sits, so that if someone ever lost control of their car and crashed through the church fence, they'd be stopped by a curb, thank goodness. Anyway, the no-man's-land is full of saplings that in the summer grow higher than my fence until the church's grounds crew comes and cuts them down. Then they just leave them to wither and rot between the fences. You can see the dead leaves and branches through the gap in my fence above. Some of my stobs are from the saplings whose roots have snuck under the fence and I've had to cut them back. I suppose the no-man's-land provides a kind of compost heap, and when it rains, that washes under my fence. I'm interested to see what sort of effect that'll have when the rains come. |
