Bamboo

 
Our new place is boardering a proposed school.   I started investigating different hedging plants to act as a barrier.   I decided Bamboo would be the best choice as it is not too wide taking up too much land.  Much to my dissappointment I discovered that Bamboo plants are very expensive and I have a lot of fence to cover.   Luckily I stumbled across bamboo seeds sold on ebay. 
 
Before everyone freaks out I have selected a non-evasive variety - Borinda fungosa (syn. Fargesia fungosa) known as the Chocolate Bamboo.  It grows to 5 metres tall. 60 seeds for $30.  So much more affordable.
