Nathan vs Garden round 2

On Sunday Nathan took on the neighbours-be-gone on the other side of the path form our new garden bed. The plants did provide a privacy screen but let's face it - they are pittosporums growing where we want to put the roses. Roses vs pittosporums. Roses 1: pittosporums nil.

So Nathan attacked the neighbours-be-gone with crow bar and mattock. Here's the photo story of his mighty battle with one of three plants:

Note the technique with the mattock.


Sometimes brute force can help

(though the mattock works better)

Going

Going

GONE!

And turned to mulch.


After hard work, a man deserves a long cold beer


ahhhhh!



Now we have a mulched bed awaiting some rain and placement of roses! Hooray!


Nathan 2: Garden nil! See the difference?


anon!
