Shelter Belts
Well I love living behind one, but man when you get them trimmed it is a freaking nightmare. We have a rock wall and garden down one whole length of the drive - about 100m and of course the trimmings are all over both of these. Unfortunatley we have to get the clippings off the garden and onto the grass so the mulching man can come and do his thing. I was outside this afternoon trying to clean up and only managed to get really peeved, hot and sweaty and about 10m cleaned up.
Time for a rethink of plan - bribery and corruption - yep it works a treat, the boys were in big time when the temptation of bucks was dangled in front of them. They worked so hard and with no fights either. Yay, they cooled with a water fight and I lay on the grass and took photos of the piles for the mulching man.
