Hey fellow MFKers,
I would like some suggestions/advice/expertise regarding a fence.
My girlfriend and I recently moved into a house together on the border of a rural/suburb area of Cleveland.
Our backyard property has about an acre of land. We have a 4-5 foot tall square fence that encloses a portion of the backyard.
We would like to add some coverage along the 2 sides of the fence-line facing our neighbors houses (One on each side of the house).
What I was originally thinking was to plant some arborvitaes along the 2 sides of the fence-line, spanning about 20 feet across. However, this will get costly.
Then we came up with the idea of growing perennial climbing vines along the fence. Obviously vines are invasive, but we are up for the trimming.
The area we live in is derived from zones 5 and 6.
We came up with 3 vines that COULD theoretically work...
