Two Fences?

The fences behind Annie Lou and this 1967 Chevy Nova are quite common in neighborhoods around the USA. This particular set of fences in Burleson, Texas (USA) separate the property of an elemtarary school and private residences.

The school, wanting to mark its territory, puts up a short, chain link fence. The homeowners, wanting more privacy from the school traffic, places a tall privacy fence next to the school's fence.

The situation this causes in a nightmare. There is no way to effectively get between the two fences and kill the growing grass and weeds, without harming the grass on the other side of the fences.

In either case, whether it be to let the bugs rule or try to handle the grass, the side with the chain link fence is always left doing all of the work. The person with the privacy fence falls into the "out of sight, out of mind" mindset.
