Every I do my front garden I do the verge as well. Keeps it all looking really nice.

A few doors up he even edges it along the path.

The council cut it quite regularly so if i didn't do  it wouldn't be a problem.

However at my Mils in the next borough the council never seem to cut it.

So you end up with a street of million pound houses with perfectly manicured front gardens and a jungle 6 feet away.  It looks shit.

Before anyone mentions it, they are not meadows.

I've attacked her verge and I feel better for it. Let's hope it catches.

I give my verge a trim every now and again. If I'm short on time I just make sure I keep the sides tidy, and general length in check. If I've got more time then I'll give it a more thorough grooming.

I don't have a verge.

That's the fashion these days.

Unkempt verges are a bit 70's

Have you trimmed her bush too and attended her clematis?

Enriched habitat for wildlife innit. You’re a monster zippy, destroying nature like that needlessly grumpy fella from Avatar.

As for what you’ve been doing to your mother in law, well, words fail me. Filth

We used to live on a road junction on a main road into Stafford.  We had two largish verges and I kept them neat and tidy to make the area look nice (and enhance the value of our house).  David Cameron was the losing candidate in the 1997 election and was presumably driving round a lot, canvassing, and must have noticed me "doing my bit".

So i consider myself largely responsible for his "Big Society" idea.

Try and leave ours as natural as possible for the wildlife. Maybe give anything that gets too big a hack.
