At the bottom of our garden is 6-8 foot piece of (our) land that separates us from a local park. We've lived here a year and are planning on rehauling this area when we can afford it. The area is full of brambles/ivy on the park side and various different hedges facing in.
The other day some little shit kicked his football over into our garden (fine we always hand them back) but he decided to force his way through the hedge into the garden to collect his ball. He choose the most vulnerable spot so has effectively left us with a hole.
I need to close this hole as we have a toddler who needs to be contained and also we now have free access between us and the park so not great for security. I can't spend much as we want to redo the whole lot in a few years. What's the cheapest most effective plants to go with? They need to be able to provide at least some barrier straight away... I was thinking dog roses at the back and something less thorny at the front for the toddler...
Thank you in advance for your help, I can post a picture of the spot if needed.
