Dear Cecil,
I shall be very pleased if you can advise me whether my house, if upgraded to Period 8, may enjoy the benefits of the pearl string formation.
1. It is facing Northwest 1.
2. It is a rectangular house sitting on a rectangular piece of land.
3. In front of the house and stretching about 80 feet is an empty grass covered small field which has a very thick hedge of about 10 feet tall that has effectively blocked the view beyond. Below this hedge is a busy highway. Across the highway are two to three level buildings. About 1 km. further are four apartment blocks, slightly to the right backed by a small mountain range in the distance.
4. Backing the house is a row of similar houses higher than my house. There is a small lane separating the two rows. This is where I am thinking of placing a water feature, a big jar with water lilies and guppies.
I shall be very pleased if for your advice.
Thank you.
Sincerely,

Dear SK,
You house has satisified Para 1 and 2.
As for Para 3, as mentioned in my previous message, so far, it is proven that a hill as high as 1 storey high, will most certainly qualify for the Pearl String Formation.
Hmm... for "tall thick Hedge", this is something new (or not proven yet). This is because, under the original Pearl String Formation, the effectiveness has to do with `earth' or a hill made of earth.
As to a `hill' made of thick hedge, as mentioned, in my opinion, there is very few past precedence. And to me, frankly is virgin territory. Looking at it, you may have to decide on your own whether to try it or not. Thus to me, I cannot say for sure, if it will work. I sincerely do hope so, it works.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
