Eats, Strims and Leaves

Bamboo - diet of pandas so we are informed - tall, elegant and invasive.  Another day, another tidy up .....

Eats - have a substantial breakfast on the day you do a clearance job.  Porage is recommended.  Make sure you keep eating digestive biscuits throughout.  Good for maintaining blood sugar levels.

Strims - I do not do machinery.  Petrol strimmers are fearsome and noisy tools.  Walk the ground.  Encourage frogs and toads into the safety zone and rake up afterwards. 

Leaves - Pick up fallen leaves and stuff them into bags.  Compost them where possible.  Strip foliage from bamboo thus providing economical home-made stakes.   Depart from owner/tenant/lodger... with a cheery smile, caching cash as you go.  Book next visit if requested.  Drive to the public amenity site, haul out sacks and let bamboo cascade over the edge of the big green container to join berberis, pyracanthra and all the seasonal trimmings.
