    That took me back!!...it Reminds me of my own garden when I moved in twenty years ago!!! I did it by myself and it took me weeks to chop it all down!
    It’s a beautiful garden now, and I love sitting out in it watching the birds feeding on my bird table. Very tranquil.
    Hope you get it exactly how you’d like and get joy from being in it after all your hard work.

    whenever I happen to pass by an overgrown garden like this, I think to myself "Damn, I would love to clear this mess", but then I remember that not only is that hard physical labor (something I have absolutely no experience with) but it is also WAY louder than in a UA-cam clip with adjusted sound and takes MUCH longer than the 15 minutes I manage to sit through before I get up to clear out the fridge ...

      @@alwaysbrown75 actually my name is madz and nobody is getting mad, I just hate unnecessary fear of snakes. Just call someone to come and relocate it. Spreading fear is what gets them killed and we end up losing countless species because humans just have to kill everything on site without even knowing if it's venomous or not. It's not a joke to me.

    @KeikoMushi 4 роки тому +65

    I bet some goats could have taken out the overgrown foliage in a few days, leaving goat droppings to feed the soil. However, they aren't great handymen, and would thus not be able to remove the crappy shed down the back. Obviously, that also makes goats lousy at plumbing.
    Anyway, good job, lads. The yard looks a LOT better than when you started work.
