EmsquaredStarted cutting the daft ammount of hedging. I always try to do it manually as I find the quiet snip snipping quite centering and post long covid I can only do stuff in small bursts and a pair of clippers is minimal setup (I know I could get a battery powered electric but hey).
Already I've hit the usual bonus. Passers by and neighbours stop to chat as I clip clip away. It really is a bigger reward than exhausting myself with big electric clippers and ear defenders. I'm quite good at small talk. It's the longer conversations where I probably struggle more.
I'm not the only old schooler hedge cutting wise.
A much older neighbour down the road cuts his hedge by hand too though he hasn't got this vastness of hedge.
I'm going to replace this privetbhedge with beech over time so I can manage it better as I get daft old. #Garden #hedges
