Innocuous In Innisfil 🇨🇦There's something relaxing about burning weeds on our flagstone patio. And a weed torch is kinda manly.... ( insert Tim "Toolman" Taylor howl here).

DoomsdaysCWCome Celebrate Earth Day in Saco!
April 24 @ 9:00 am - 1:00 pm
"Registration is NOW OPEN!
Each year, the Saco Parks & Recreation Department offers an opportunity to bring the community together to clean up and prepare the local green spaces and parks for spring and summer! It is now more important than ever to focus on our green space, clean energy, eliminating waste, and becoming an eco-friendly community.
"#ecomaine is proud to be part of this year’s celebration! Stop by our table at the #SacoCommunityCenter at the start of the day to pick up #recycling resources, meet our education team, and learn about the sustainable waste programs available to Saco residents. At the end of the cleanup, we’ll be weighing the trash collected from parks, trails, and open spaces across the city so volunteers can see the real impact their community made together.
"Looking to get involved? Join your neighbors to volunteer in Saco and help clean up and prepare local parks for spring and summer. Duties include #TrashPickUp, #weeding, #mulching, raking, and more. This event is (light) rain or shine!

Colin PurringtonDug a new weed pit at my allotment this morning. The victims spend a week or so drying out, then get buried. I've been doing this for years and the soil is slowly getting better. #allotment #gardening #weeds #weeding #composting #soil

Miss Kitty 🌈🌈🌈#MissKitty follows back. But she also runs a #weeding operation. I can't have overgrowth in the account as much as possible. 🌿🌾🪴The growth part of the operation has overtaken the maintenance. Trying to jump back into maintenance has maybe made a couple of people wonder WTF! 🤯
I dug out some invasive/unwanted #thistles.
They have strong taproot that become bigger & stronger if left to grow/spread.

In case it might help somebody else, I managed to fix my EGO weed trimmer today. The automatic feed button wasn't sucking in the line, so I used a 1/2 socket to pop off the housing and found a piece of string and some dried stems clogging the gears. Once cleaned the auto-feed worked better than ever and the trimmer had much more power. #ego #yardwork #repair #fix #fixit #diy #tools #weeding #battery #lawncare

Belle (she/her)Four hours and a little bit of a sunburn later…the garden is weeded! With all the rain we’ve had lately it was getting a bit out of control. The tomatoes have finally taken off and the peppers are starting to flower.
