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 : )

    • Yes they do, but that is not the core tenet of representative democracy. At that level, we are voting for a parliamentary representative, irregardless of whether parties exist or not. It's why candidates can stand as independents. 
    • Sadly I think you will never convince people like this. They think gardens have to be kept chopped back and controlled. My theory is that this comes from being (or trying to be) controlling in every aspect of their lives, so I doubt if anything you could say or show them would have any effect. But are they actually coming into your garden or leaning over into it and pulling up/damaging things? If so, maybe one of our community police people could have a word with them?
    • Dear Nature lovers - advice please. I am being harassed by a neighbour who doesn't like my standard of gardening which she calls 'messy'. (I have rewilded my garden with advice from the London Wildlife Trust and a gardening expert from The Times.) I have twice caught this neighbour and her husband pulling up my plants and damaging my trees. Plus she has photographed my house, and sent a dozen complaints to the Dulwich Estate about my plan to rewild the verge outside my property - approved by the Estate some 4 years ago in line with their stated policy of supporting biodiversity in and around Dulwich. What can I do to introduce these neighbours  to the benefits to us all of returning a portion of our gardens to nature?
