The more I learn cooking and gardening from you, the more I feel that it’s possible to better myself in these ways. Because I suuuure have been stressed about all of it. You’re my new favorite wyse teacher 👨🏫
It is actually good to go in and do a deeper pruning on boxwood every once in a while so that the outer layer of foliage doesn't get too dense. This will allow better airflow and sunlight into the middle of the plant, which prevents disease and die out. If the plant is in ideal growing conditions it will not stress it.
I've been doing this for 20yrs by hand like this! I have too many boxwoods to count (but I will if you insist!) and my shoulders are SHOT! Only do it this way if you have a FEW boxwoods!
@@alienveritec I have around 50 boxwoods and 40 spireas/potentillas areound my home which is a one floor ranch style house! I pruned them every year then every other year then I finally got a guy to do it for me! If you can learn to use an electric hedge trimmer, I would recommend using that than using up your shoulder joints! 🫤
I spent YEARS trimming mine by hand..hours of perfecting them.... untill I got an electric one! I'll stand by them 100%!!!!!! Now it takes MAYBE 10 mins to do probably 20 bushes. ❤
I trim boxwood just fine with electric shears. Just keep the blades sharp and they won't tug and tear. The cloth is extremely time consuming. One or 2 or 3 bushes, ok. But if you have an entire yard it is not worth it. I try to have people do their general trimming in spring before they put mulch. That way you can avoid all that extra work pulling a tarp around. I do realize some shrubs need to be trimmed at certain times. But generally if you first trim then mulch you can simply rake the debris and blow out the beds, install the layer of mulch, it will cover up all the rest of the smaller debris. I do realize you might trim shrubs 2 or 3 times a year but overall it will look better.
Seeing neatly trimmed bushes in someones yard always makes me feel like it's a sims house lol. I get why people like it but it mostly freaks me out, that's not what shrubs look like. I guess it hits uncanny valley
Lol I understand where your coming from but basically trimming shrubs is a good thing so more light can reach the plant and it’s not overcrowded with foliage thus it prevents it from dying quicker
When having box bushes that haven't been trimmed in years its ok to cut to the brown. Do it before the peak of spring though for best growth. Doing this will train your bushes into growing into the shape and height you want.
Sooo are we putting the bedsheet under each and every bush on the front side of the house? If one owns a leafblower of any sort, you can trim without the bedsheet(or tarp) then blow the trimmings into the yard. Once in the yard, rake them up. Even if you don’t have a blower, you can easily rake the fresh trimmings up over the mulch, then when finished mix up the mulch to cover any bare spots you might have made
I’m absolutely in love with this guy so informative educational and fun to watch

and tone deaf!

So how do you get such a perfect ball shape?
You need to harness all the will of your ancestors.
I trim my shrubs way back every fall then the inside doesn't get all brown.
I'd love for you to do a full property tour. I can guarantee every inch of your property is gorgeous
Yips are honest. Good job.❤
Looks great 😁

Looks like you give your shrubs a haircut 😂
You are so G D adorable !!!!
You are my Obi Wan. So much, I learn. 🌱🌿
Beautiful thx
Good tips but there was a time I was really stressed when I trimmed the front house shrubs.
A hornets nest got me running!!
Can you tell us how to sharpen our trimmers? Mine are just too dull to do a good job like this!!
Plus it always feels better by hand. (No pun intended until i just read it right now)😊
Are you doing all the garden stuff by your self?
I think it actually looks good natural
next you should carve them into a shape lol!
What time of year do you do this? Do you wait for fall when most plants are going dormant?
Very well done video, although I think I like the wild look. Just preference though
Do you have boxwoods? Here’s why you should remove them entirely: Boxwood Blight. See whether it’s in your area.
Uh, the brown insides is a good sign that the inside of the plant is dead or dying and needs a hearty trim to open up the inside of the plant again.
How long did it take you
Minimum amount of sun they can thrive in?
Bro out here hairdressing his plants.
Let them grow natural let spiders make a home why everything have to be "perfect".
Awesome
What month do you trim these?
Snakes love hiding in those
Yeah you can do it like and I'm sure that works great if you have all day to waste. Or you can buy the lawn mower 2.0 for your unruly bush!
I have a Nashiki Willow tree (dappled willow). Any trim techniques for FAST growing willows?
Scrappy Coco moved to cutting bushes instead of hair🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠
fierce trimming
Can I use a fur bedsheet for better results?
I got carrried away I butchered my bush but I did want it smaller it was covering my window 🤣🤣🤣
As a landscaper I approve this message!👍🏻
The clippings would feed the soil!
Your handy to have in my back pocket
