bushes are growing towards my potting bench, looking for tips on controlling growth.

I was thinking freestanding copper netting, solar powered heater hooked to any metal netting, im throwing spaghetti at the wall trying to make something stick, maybe espalier.
>>
the church has success with keeping plant growth off faces because of the oil paint so maybe a wood lattice painted with a heavy oil? im grasping at straws

Pave your yard front and back. Leave no dirt showing.

Shears. Or spray with a mixture of gas and used motor oil.

The freeze-thaw cycle here will turn that into a mess of rubble after a few seasons. Patching looks terrible.

Well just repave it every summer. Problem solved.

Or dig down to a depth of 59 feet, and fill it all on with cement. A giant chunk of cement 59 feet in depth will stand the test of time.

Get a loppers or hedge sheers and cut it all back, then a spade and hack the roots up. Mow around it. It isn't really a complicated issue. Or just get some flags, liner and gravel instead of mowing it

I've made a big greenhouse and one half of it is a potting shed/tool storage/cooler temp greenhouse. It has a concrete floor so I don't have to worry about weeds growing around my potting bench. It's pretty cool but it cost me over 2k to make. The solution can be as complex or simple or as cheap or expensive as you want it to be
