Free labour for gardener in return for strimming experience!

Recommended Posts

This might be a long shot, but I'm working on a project to clear a large piece of land in a few months and will need to know how to use a strimmer for clearing weeds and brambles. I'm sure it's not that complicated, but I'd rather have someone who knows what they are doing show me how to use it safely. So any gardeners out there who might be willing to show me in return for me doing a days labour with them? Thanks!

If you don't get anywhere here don't worry you will soon pick it up.

If you are clearing waste land make sure your jabs are up to date.

Wear as much protective clothing (not just ear defenders) as possible because if you hit fresh cat doings it will splatter everywhere and is extremely dangerous to humans.

I don't like strimming so recommend not getting too good at it, else you might be stuck with it for a long time : )

    • Big black Irish wolfhound wandering around Peckham rye on the grassy area near the smaller playground (not the cafe one). Couldn’t see an obvious owner, he had a collar on and very placid but no details on collar. He wandered off (and I wasn’t in a position to stay) but please can folks keep an eye out if he’s still wandering about later in case he has been abandoned. Park ranger numbers were not working 😞 
    • I read somewhere that it was to be an Orleans Smokehouse, opening in December, which seems unlikely
    • There are "plans" to build more reservoirs, with physical work yet to be started, with the first hoped to be completed by 2036, and a second by 2040, then time is needed for them to fill so add at least another 12 months on. However, if the 1.5 million homes are built by 2028, each averaging 2 people occupying them.(some will be more, some will be less) then thats 3 million people showering, bathing and using water.  Therefore there is a massive demand that will strain our current inferstructure between 2028 and 2037 (nearly ten years) plus all those homes will need electricity, as the ambition is to phase gas usage out, which will take just as much time to reinforce the network to cover, let alone add in the ability to cope with green production electricity that needs to be moved from wind and solar farms to where it is most needed.  Therefore, is the current plan to build more homes, regardless of where they are,  potentially going to have serious ramifications on already creaking networks ?
