Might try the rosa rugosa - there is no way on this earth I could cultivate the strip - it's blooming saturated with weeds of all sorts and brick hard. I MIGHT just get a spade in bits of it.
Thanks for the

ideas.

We've found human shite in hedges - but I cant say I've never been caught short of a bog and havnt done it myself although its annoying to say the least.

As for my yard to be honest I'm never sure what s**t I'm treading in but there is always s**t of somekind. Thanks god for slate floors inside the house!!

If dogs were shitting on my veg patch I'd be well pissed off - infact it would put me off eating anything straight from the garden.

I'd put a chicken wire fence up round my patch, its a bit of work but sure it will protect them from lots of animals shitting there.

Laurel works well for a solid wall of impenetratable growth ( can grow to 30 ish feet ) to the average punter when propagated properly.
It took me four years to make a 200 mtr long wall of it five feet high laurel .. but is not so good in stock places .

Errr... laurel is certainly poisonous to horses, I have always assumed to all stock?

If only you lived closer!

I have spent the last 3 years trying to control and dig out the rosa rugosa my MIL planted in a large bed in my garden. I am now trying to remove it all, and as I take it out replace with a normal rose. Rosa Rugosa is virile - I clear the bed regularly and still get suckers everywhere. If you wanted some, the amount I have dug out in 3 years could have planted most of your path!

we too had a problem with this as 2 footpaths cross our land. we put up a dog poo bin and this seems to have done the trick but it does mean we have to empty it every 2 weeks and take it to the tip which is not my favourite chore !
