    PS A few years ago I heard a lot of snuffling and carrying on outside my bedroom window. I got out of bed and looked down to see two HHs doing the do! Just at that moment my neighbour came wandering home after a late night and obviously heard the activity. He looked around and spotted me hanging out the bedroom window.... I often wonder what he thought.............. image

    I'd love to have a hog in my garden, but will never happen, everyone these days seem to have walled in back gardens.  I wonder if I could smuggle one in.

    Hehe, wonderful stories folks. 

    Mary, do you have a gate you could make a gap under? a trench out of the soil etc?

    Hi everyone,

    Our nosy neighbour recently decided to replace the holey wooden fence and put concrete gravel boards in. Hope he didn't mind me taking an angle grinder to it! image

    I get the idea of why concrete gravel boards are good, but if only manufacturers would provide hog friendly boards as well, think of how the garden network could be maintained!

    OOer! Looks like a spot of criminal damage there mate. I hope your neighbour doesn't know that or you may get a bill. image

    Mark56, I have a 4/5" gap under my gate, but I live in the city so the chances of a hog ever finding it's way here are slim to none image

    Mary, which city? I was shocked to learn there are hundreds in both Regent and Hyde Parks!
