I'm looking for the least expensive option for privacy. I have a 330' fence line to cover. My property slopes, so I need something with height, to block all views. The plants will need to be completely self sufficient (or as close to it as possible). I live in USDA Hardiness zone 9b - Clermont, FL zip 34714. Thank you

my yard smells like my three dogs I would like to add some color and fragrance to detract from the smell Thank you.
Just a couple of questions for you to help steer me to the most helpful solution.
1. does it smell of dog urine or feces?
2. do you pick up the droppings?
3. by color are you talking about adding more color through flowers or restoring a rich green and repairing yellow/ dead spots?
I have a piece of garden in full sun -very hot in summer. Am looking for some colourful ground cover flowers for this area please?
Livingstone Daisies. Flowers open best in full sun. Deadhead them frequently, downside is that they will probably be finished by mid August. Very very easy to grow from seed, but you need to buy plants now as it is too late in the season.
I have a bank that is very long, for the most part very high & very steep. I am getting to the age that it is hard for me to weed eat. I am looking for a something to put on it that will take it over & do it as quickly as possible. I live in WV. What would be the best thing for me to do?
