Lawn VS jungle garden

[Rev Jones]

When I bought a house back in 2004 it had a nice little lawn in the back. Relatives convinced me to turn it into a REAL GARDEN with shrubbery and also bamboo 'to fill the garden nicely'

after the first year it was a persistent disaster lol. I had the bamboo dug out twice and put into underground plastic pots to attempt to stop it from spreading all through the garden. it was only a temporary help. I've been throwing boiling water etc on top of the bamboo close to the terrace. this morning I was pruning the shrubbery and bamboo as I'm apt to whenever I get particlarly angry with my JUNGLE GARDEN. typically the remains lie around in the garden for two months or more since I don't own a car

should have stuck with the lawn, right? btw I never use the garden, it's the animals' domain. Right now I just have a dog but I used to have rabbits etc in there as well

I have no idea why I'm posting this. Online therapy much?
