    Good luck to him I say... I'd have burnt it to the ground before now, but I'm not known for my patience with such things.

    I should really give an update on this searing topic: it took this chap 4 days of hard graft to complete the necessary trimmage. Now neighbour opposite has had his own, similarly sized, bushy display groomed in under 2 hours.

    Always hire a professional folks.

    Thank God that you're still here. The tone seems to have changed significantly since my last stint.

    started a topic Neatly trimmed bush?

    Neatly trimmed bush?

    Regular readers will be familiar with my admiration for a well maintained bush.

    Sadly, this does not extend to getting the trimmers out for my own unruly specimen.

    However, as I sit here in the office looking out across the locality, I can't help but be awestruck by one chap's valiant attempt to wrangle his own untamed wilderness. It's quite something to behold... seriously, it's over 100 feet long and over 7 feet high. Quite spectacular in its verdant barbarity in any other setting.

    It took him and his eldest three full days to contain it last year.

    Good luck to him I say... I'd have burnt it to the ground before now, but I'm not known for my patience with such things.
