      She was very happy, and I think l, a little energized to get out and do some pottering in the garden. So for me, mission accomplished 😊👍at least it will be when I've finished everything else off 😂

    This garden is about the same size as mine. and I just mowed, strimmed etc at the weekend. it was about the same height 😩 but mine was only 3 weeks worth of growth. with the weather we've been having as I'm mowing it's growing behind me! 🤨

    • @martinthegardenguy
      @martinthegardenguy  7 місяців тому

    I love your channel - you're a true gardener (rather than a lawn cutter). Your work is always thorough & meticulous and the result is wonderful. I'm sure it's a tremendous relief to the homeowner to have her garden back instead of seeing it disheveled and being unable to rectify that. Karma works both ways - by blessing others, the blessings are doubled in return.

    Poor lady, unable to tend to the garden she loved and watching it revert to a field (paddock!). A great start, and once the fences are back up . . . By the way, check the ones still standing too, some of them looked pretty wobbly in that breeze. What did the red ants do to you?

    • @martinthegardenguy
      @martinthegardenguy  7 місяців тому +3

      They nibbled my lega 😂 I think I was standing on one of their nests, and they crawled up my leg 😅 I can't blame them, though. I did wrecking ball there garden.
      I'll hopefully get the fence sorted, your right, there were some very wobbly ones. It's what happens when a neighbor decides to use them as a retaining wall 😡

    • @catherinefromchristchurchn6508
      @catherinefromchristchurchn6508 7 місяців тому

      If there are any fence related costs on the retaining side, you should advise said neighbour of total and half and suggest they pay half. Choices, consequences. Here that actually has its own Act. Not sure about there. Leave the ants alone in future (as much as possible). 😊

    I have had very good luck replacing the rechargeable batteries in solar lights with new rechargeable batteries ! Theres usually a littlte hatch somewhere you can get at with a tiny phillips head screwdriver. I replaced one at a time with a new battery, if it diddnt revive, i swspped the new battery into the next one. Over 75% of my moms dead lights sprang back into life after a day in the sunvwith a new battery. ( i went one by onecbecause i didnt want to buy a lot of rechargable batteries at high cost if it wasnt going to work out. I just bought a few at a time)

      A valid question 😅 I move one of them, but the other two had been tied together with the thick metal wire (like on the opposite side) and had wooden pallets screwed to them. It was a total nightmare to shift them, at least without any tools that aren't gardening tools 😂

      Your guess is as good as mine, he was supposed to. It also appears it was his fault they fell down. If you look closely, you can see he's piled up the earth on his side, and tried to use the fence as a retaining wall 🤯 crazy.

    Having tackled a few gardens like this they're are a few questions I always ask.
    Have you any dogs that use the garden?
    Any water features like ponds?
    Whose going to look after it?
    Having strimmed dog bombs, fell in a pond and returned three months later to do the same thing, I need to know what I'm faced with. Great work with the strimmer. Would you use a blade instead of line?

    • @martinthegardenguy
      @martinthegardenguy  2 місяці тому

      I do sometimes use a blade, it just depends on what mood I'm in 😂
      Sensible questions to ask, I've fallen in a hidden brook before, that wasn't much fun.
      But fortunately for me, my clients have always picked up after their dogs. If they didn't, there wouldn't be a return visit 👍😂

    • @martinthegardenguy
      @martinthegardenguy  7 місяців тому

      I picked up one or two, the ones I left were screwed to large wooden pallets and wrapped up in thick wire from the very old wire fence.
      I didn't have any kit to cut them, so I left them alone until I did. They would have disinterested if I'd have tried to force them off the ground.
      Valid question though 😊😅
