Sometimes, it’s hard to fight nature.
Plants will grow wherever they want and as fast as they likedespite our best efforts otherwise.
A Redditor with the usernameRossionq1realized this when it came to trimming his driveway.
So instead of continuing to cut them, he decided to lean into the plants propensity for rapid growth.
Theres a mix of plants lining it including wisteria, grape, dewberry, and bamboo.
By the Redditors estimation, the entire thing will be cloaked in vegetation by the end of the year.
The enchanting tunnel is a DIY project by Rossionq1.
As a software and systems engineer, he likes building stuff.
To construct the tunnel, he used metal conduits as its ribs and lined them with chicken wire.
Each end is anchored to a concrete buried ground anchor,he describes.
So far, it is shifted zero in any dimension (been watching closely).
The areas not yet fully covered get some vines creeping in but nothing like before, the Redditor explains.
Once the leaves basically shade out the driveway underneath, the vines stop trying to grow inwards.
