You don't have to tell him about your plan; just do it. The trimmings can be put in rubbish bags or those large 'skip' bags, and put in his front garden. It sounds like the less contact you have with him the better.
Nice to see this thread resurrected. Horrid situation to be in - we also have a neighbour we find it best to ignore, he has been rude so often. My only comment on all the good advice given is that dictaphones often need to be held next to the mouth because they aren't very powerful.
Can I add myown rant ( nothing as distressing as yours Zoomer ).
It's the seagulls- all they do day and night at the moment is squalk
I have the same problem with sparrows, one sits on the roof and another in my shade tree and they screech at eachother for hours. I wouldn't mind if they would "sing", but the screeching really get on your nerves!
I live fairly near the sea and seagulls are often inland, especially if the weather is bad. I don't mind the noise - its the target practice that really irritates me. How did they get so expert at hitting my washing???
My MOB rant is about hosepipe connectors. The hozelock type that you screw onto the tap.
Someone is going around the allotment and stealing them! I took to hiding one under my water tanks and they've even taken that one! I know they're not expensive, but when you're all set up with hose and have a tap available it's very frustrating to then have to go shopping for another connector. Especially when you get back and find the tap is now in use for the next two hours. I am now taking it home, but it's yet another thing to remember to take with me.
The only birds I have issues with are pigeons - they totally stripped (I mean everything) my OH's runners and pumpkins on one plot. She was not best pleased. The seagulls seem to be able to target our two kids which is often very funny.
Seagulls yeah.. they go on late then start again about 3am.. and the magpies.. sqwaking to each other.. and r bullies in my garden.. they chase off all other ground feeding birds.
Then theres the foxes all night screeching.. I love nature... but its pi
Pushing its luck at mo.. keepin me up when have just gone off with this heat.I
KEF - I've sorted the magpies with my 'mesh door covers'... little b*****s.
Thay are clever though.
Re the seagull sign - about 30 years ago I bought my BIL a sticker for his car which read 'preserve wildlife - pickle a squirrel'. He loved it but I don't know how well it went down with his boss.
He worked for the Nature Conservancy Council.....
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

Years ago I saw a sign. "Keep Scarborough tidy eat a seagull"..
It's the magpies that make all the din in our garden, but at least if you clap they fly off. Think they go off to steal tomatoes elsewhere.
