I am looking for advice on a reasonably fast-growing screening plant to go next to our west-facing back fence, which is very close to a 3 storey block of flats overlooking our backyard in coastal Sydney.
Some people have suggested a non-invasive bamboo, but I am not sure if that is the best option.
It will be planted in a raised garden bed (approx. 10m side to side, 70cm front to back, and 45cm above ground level) which currently has some herbs and veges. Ideally, we would like to keep the herbs and veges, but I would expect that the bamboo/screening plant would make that difficult.
Any suggestions for species or reasonably-priced suppliers?
