Agapathus’s and those privet tree’s -after the digger did it’s bit

That digger has saved us so much work!!

The only bits left are small area’s where the digger couldn’t get to.

We are dealing with the remaining agapathus with a sprayer. We will need to do this several times because they are hard to eradicate this way.

All the big privet tree’s are gone, and the remaining ones are dealt with by a handsaw and some stump paste.

We now have a  bare clearing on our property, but the grass and weeds are slowly growing back.

The grass is slowly growing back
This pile of agapathus is where they go to die, while the ones in the background await their destiny…
An agapathus free area?, -not quite, old ones tend to spring up after it rains. At least then we know where we missed. (they don’t last long..)
