I knew I should have eavesdropped on my brother’s Cub Scout meetings. What kind of knot is that? – Ms. Fix-It

What kind of knot? Easy. That’s affraid not.
You mean a frayed knot.
Oy. Noobs. Anyone can see it’s a freight — naught!
and the point goes to Dogmeat this round.
Curses! Foiled again!
*shakes fist at Dogmeat*
Mother Nature 1, wall 0. WIN!
Granny Knot.
This may not be a repair, but perhaps a very, very slow way of tearing the wall down using the power of nature! It’s called ‘going green’!
“Going green” is yesterday’s theme.
You may not think it’s a bad kludge at first, but it’ll grow on you.
You’re bound to think it’s not your cup of tree. Ligature past kludges, though, and you’ll see this one leafs the others in the dust…
Yes, they’re starting to branch out into new areas of kludge.
After what this shrub did to the wall, it could use a good lashing. Or perhaps a surgeon’s knot is more fitting in this situation? Hopefully they didn’t use (for the shrub’s sake) a strangle knot or (for the wall’s sake) a slip knot! It’s a shame more knots can’t be made. For binding purposes, the rope has plenty of bark but absolutely no bight.
Wallknot…and that’s a wallknot tree!
This principle holds true in so many facets of life: To come up with the best solution, you must first determine the root cause of the problem.
Gravity is only the bark of wisdom’s tree but it preserves it.

I told them to use the Whomping Willow to close Diagon Alley, but I guess it was too much for them …
Known to really hold a grudge, the damaged wall threw a rope around part of itself and the bush responsible and fastened the rope securely. Immediately afterward, the wall cried out, “Now if I go down, I’m taking you with me!”
This is how you RE-build a wall.
My god. The tree of life. You found it. Kneel before it’s awesome power!
I’m knot too pfunny but anyway I wanted to point out that the rope is more likely there to keep the plant from sagging and nobody cares about the brick wall, it just happened to have that handy crack (from the bush no doubt) into which the twine could be looped.
I don’t think encouraging this kind of codependency is good for the feng shui of one’s home…
It could be that the root system of the bush was responsible for the wall cracking into pieces in the first place.
Giving the bush MORE responsibility as a reward for total failure more be proof that the kludger is a politician.

Knotty pine?
Looks like a taut-line hitch. Although in reality I suppose not tau(gh)t enough.
“Mr. Gorbachev, untie this wall!”
Is the bush holding up the wall, or is the wall holding up the bush?
