In the States, there is a kind of person called a Snow Boarder, usually annoying to real skiers. Probably Earth Boarding is some new X-game, although how he's going to fit just one Earth Boarder around his garden is beyond me. Maybe he's the guy that's been putting skeletons in everyone's gardens.

What kind of trees, how big, how far from the trunk will theborder be, where are you, how deep, what kind of soil, more info more info.

I have an Earth Boarder: He's very hairy, has big buck teeth, and his room is always dirty---he's called a "Gopher" Now if I could just get him to pay his rent on time..............

The message from Salty Thumb contains these words:

We have those in the UK. There's another kind of boarder, who is a sort of lodger. They live in your house in exchange for money. We had an American boarder once and she was hell.

An earth-boarder would probably be very kind and motherly towards your little children (unlike ours, who would scoff the food from their plates whenever my back was turned).

Hi Emilie,

I have to confess, I don't know much about Boarders, but yours really sounds more like a Perennial Boarder. But the only example I can think of is something called a "Kato Kaelin".

In a sort of related story, I had a neighbor claim that one night after mowing his lawn, he saw a rabbit or something hanging around. (No it was NOT THE EASTER BUNNY). The next morning it was gone, but he did find two small, neatly piled "deposits" left behind. Moral: don't charge rabbits rent (except National Rabbit Manure Association members) .

Hi Janet,

Sounds like an Annual Boarder, although could be a Perennial Boarder, depending on how long they last.

Now that sounds like a gopher, but closer to a rat.
