I'd be very simple in that... I'd buy some cement, get a big bucket and mix it (or, if I wanted to do something outrageous, I'd rent a cement mill). Then, I'd pour it all over that piece of that property-that-isnt-mine-but-what-I-should-maintain. Tada, no more lawnmowing either. And you get a great place to park your bike/car/camper/cavaran (depending on the size of it).
It's illegal to park there, and other people would park there, and the parking inspectors around here are positively supernatural in their awareness of infringement anywhere in the shire, and, besides, the garden enables me to maintain large clumped stands of golden cane palm and dracaenas to hide our big front fence, give us extra privacy, add more nature corridor for some local wildlife, and generally make the place look as green and nature-friendly as its surrounds (we're about 100m from the National Park, and the hill is pretty greened-up with established, "natural" gardens), while being replete with low-maintenance plant species.

Quote:
The problem with mulch is that weed will poke out of it sooner or later. I know, I have plenty of mulch in my garden, and the weed is poking out of it already (and we put it down in December, after we had that big tree cut down)
Actually, the hoop-pine mulch combined with the plants combined with the scrub-turkeys tends to keep pretty much all the weeds away (this is what all our gardens, including the large, existing, front "nature strip" garden, is mulched with now. I know this most clearly from the strip of garden along our back fence, where bad, infamously-persistent, wildly-growing fishbone fern was hacked out by me but has mostly been kept from growing by scrub turkeys (who love the mulch). Mostly we're just pulling up self-sown golden cane palm sprouts and replanting them elsewhere or just chucking them. Weeds are not a problem.

Cheers,
Marc

Hee hee hee.

LazyScot has guessed it.

(And two of my dragons hatched this morning! But now the hatchlings are sick from being viewed too much, so I had to wrap them in a nice layer of fog. Evidently dragon hatchlings find that comforting. Who knew?)

Marc, if the council doesn't like the much, maybe ground ivy? Is there something like that that's native to your area?

I was going to make "plate armor" with my collection of CDs -- but breaking them into bits proved harder than my desire for the armor. Oh well.

I'll count that as your first guess.

Last year I forgot to celebrate by re-reading the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series. Which should tell you how old I am this year.
