what unwanted things regularly get into your garden?

[DaringAquaViewer]

can be anything from cats to litter

for me cats an petals from the house at the bac tree

If they're eating what they've killed they're not being 'evil'.

I guess it's a pity we don't have vultures, they do the essential carrion disposal jobs that we need corvids for but without killing anything. (I've recently seen the Muncaster castle raptor display, which features a lovely gawky trio of teenage vultures )

Next door’s bamboo under the fence, aka the beast.
Same for ground elder
5 neighbourhood cats.
The rest I don’t mind.

Nextdoor's ivy
Nextdoor's periwinkle
Nextdoor's forget-me-not
Nextdoor's fucking sycamore seeds

Grey squirrels. Sods.

Something in the front is chewing my bay trunk in the hedge. Must be a deer. Foxes are ok (bloody noisy). Squirrels are my main annoyance. And herring gulls when I put out bird food they can get to like bread. Although they are funny to see on the bird feeder as they are utter giants.

Oh and slugs. The Spanish orange ones. Hate them. Multiple snails too. We very much lack the birds needed to eat them like thrushes but I live on a tiny peninsula so we get garden birds like blue tits but limited on starlings, thrushes, sparrows.

Oak leaves come the autumn. Have a sodding massive oak tree just the other side of my fence so every November my little garden fills up about 6 inches deep with the things. Last year seemed to be particularly bad for acorns too. Takes three car loads normally to take them all to the tip.

Having said that, I do love the tree, it’s the straightest, healthiest looking oak I’ve ever seen, and also the cover it provides, the habitats for the various wildlife, so I’d be sad to see it gone.

The funniest thing I ever had in my garden (well, sort of flew through it) was a life size blow up spider man.

Bindweed, elder, sycamore seedlings, horsetail and muntjac deer.

Marestail, deer, jackdaws, grey squirrels.
We have a 6 foot high electric fence to keep out the deer, but they still do a lot of damage in the unfenced bit. There are far too many of them - sika deer mostly.

Out back garden is alongside a footpath. We have someone dropping bags of dogshit over the fence.

Cats in my small back garden, Horsetail & pigeons on my allotment. Don't mind about the fox family in the latter, where we also have a big colony of slow worms.

Footballs from next door and other things thrown over. Have broken several young plants and caused other damage but 'ahhh, it's only kids playing bless them' 😡😡

Pigeon crap.
And the little black berries that fall off the neighbours ridiculously high laurel trees.

Litter,
muntjac,
grey squirrels,

Cats (inc their poo), bindweed and brambles. All from the same neighbour.

Cats and pigeons. The cats shit in the borders, and the pigeons flap about shagging and cooing at 4am.

These sticky pale green seed things from the tree above my seating area (it's on no man's land on the path that runs behind all our gardens and provides welcome privacy from the building behind when in leaf). And little shoots from the seeds. A fox on occasion but don't mind them unless my dogs notice and go mad. Slugs/snails..

@Lonelycrab just compost the leaves and stick it back on the garden as free fertiliser?

For me it's sodding bindweed. Oh the effing stuff refuses to die, despite digging, root pulling and occasional glysophate.

The neighbours bloody Ivy!
Creeps around the corner and attaches to the back of my painted house. Try to remove it and it takes the paint off. I'm having to watch it on a almost daily basis and give it a dose of weedkiller to kill those leaves off.

I have asked the neighbour to cut it back to no avail.

Chickens. Or to be precise, one particularly determined chicken from the neighbours brood. She seems determined to play ... err ... chicken with my cats.

@Bovrilla I tried that one year and there’s just waaay too many of them. Filled a few black bags and periodically added a bit of water (read this method somewhere online) and then left them- it took two whole years before they’re broken down into usable compost.

A unsecured trampoline. Bits of plastic plants. Golf balls. But they are all lovely neighbours so not overly bothered 😂

Have you tried adding Garotta? https://www.sam-turner.co.uk/products/garotta-compost-maker-ready-to-use-3-5kg?variant=32246017261707&fo_c=602&fo_k=e53b47ceaa280e56c30fcb3d2f03607c&fo_s=gplauk&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=pmax_gardening&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjw_qexBhCoARIsAFgBleuIoZ6uHBZhWIppGqUjnvZvbMPA7_YWTkVhufAhsyv7hadsa8uaRvYaAqAtEALw_wcB

We used to live at exactly the point at which people finished their drive-through McDonald’s and threw the bag out of the car window. So we always had McDonald’s debris in the garden.

@Kilroywashere i just don’t have the space to store the sheer volume of leaves! That’s half the problem. Garden in almost knee deep in places!

So 90 mins shuttling to the tip once a year works best for me.
