    A strong wire mesh fence might work (thinking the green chainlink stuff might be less obtrusive than a wooden fence).
    Doncaster, South Yorkshire. Soil type: sandy, well-drained
  • I remember try that on a rooftop garden in the 1980s, when this same daughter was a toddler. It was never sufficiently tensioned, so that it looked baggy and very amateurish. But worth investigating. And things cd grow up it...
  • Buttercupdays: thank you very much. I like the idea of the bark - though so may the numerous neighbourhood cats! They did see a hedgehog in the garden earlier in the year., and I am bringing on two strawberry plants to take when lockdown is released.

    If kids can fall, they will fall.  Eventually. And maybe someone else’s kid.

    A fence would work, defensive planting won’t, but I think extending the retaining wall up another 3ft could be interesting and present some vertical planting opportunities given its south facing 😀
