4 Hours hard labour

Post by alpineart »

These rippers were a result of a simple request to strip my mates trident of all the seeds .He recons i was going to make a fortune out of selling them so he asked if i could help him eradicate some noxious weeds .I agreed , like me his old and half cripple , until you rattle his chain , then can that bugger move .

All up i brought 12 Montereys home created 50 chop tops on the farm and eradicated around 150 other wildlings .I told John if they dont die i will dig the out next year .At the end of the working bee John was rapped , I was doing cartwheels and the weeds were removed . Well most of the weeds .Cheers

Wow, nice scores.
Always we hope someone else has the answer.
Bonsai is an art of shrinking.
