Garden Clearance
Question:
I have a project to complete but no idea how to start. I have to clear an overgrown garden and long drive, it's at my home in Italy and I am a little worried about the cut grass and weeds in the sun after they are cut. Any advice would be more than welcome. I do have a strimmer and could use some tips on using that as well.
Answer:
This sounds like a big project. I have found an article on a good website which will take you through dealing with an overgrown garden step-by-step. I hope it helps. http://www.greenfingers.com/articledisplay.asp?id=320. As for using a strimmer; keep the string head about 2-3 ins off the ground and sweep the machine side to side in a steady motion parallel to the ground. When trimming tall weeds start at the top of the weeds so that the string cuts them into little pieces and don't get tangled around the head.
