Our young cat got stuck up a tree and needed rescuing…
While clearing out those agapathus from around the fish pond, we discovered a new friend..
He is amazingly placid and sat in the shade all day, totally unpreturbed by me ripping out plants just a few metres away.
It felt like we were pulling out his home, so we made sure to put some pot plants back there to keep him happy.
Vaccine injury and the serious long term adverse health prospects Today, we report two new sources of alarming information about COVID-19 vaccine injury. One from Health New Zealand data and the other from the New Zealand health insurance industry. We ask how the government could have either missed these or deliberately ignored them. We then…
Staggering New Data From Health New Zealand and Others
Every other weekend, I am pulling out agapathus plants and privet tree’s.
The philosophy and tactics are very different for each.
The Yin
Agapanthus’es are hard work. They need to be dug out of the ground while making sure you have got all the rizhomes, otherwise they will grow back.
Because of the shear size of some of them, a block and tackle is sometimes needed. It’s a slow and cumbersome process, but it’s still easier than using a shovel.
Sometimes you just get nowhere with a big one, and your expending lots of effort for no gain. It’s best just to walk away and leave it for another day
The smaller ones will sometimes just pull out by hand, others need a shovel, but you never know until you actually try.
In conclusion, you need lots of patience and a ‘just go with the flow’ attitude.
Those privet tree’s….
Even small privets have to be dug out of the ground, rather than just pulled out. Their roots tend to snake along the ground horizontally making them rather stubborn buggers to get out.
Given the shear number of them, that doesn’t sound like much fun..
Time for a different strategy..
The Yang
A chainsaw and stump paste is a far easier method…
You can rip thru the privets in double quick time, making it immensly satisfying to make a big difference to the garden in such a short time.
I then haul them out with the ride on mower, rather than labouriously dragging them out by hand.
