Storm work

Postby egghead » Fri Mar 19, 2021 12:05 pm

After 5 fully loaded trips to the dump with things like philodendrons, Bird of paradise, Bush Pentas, and more.

Started stacking stuff for collection hopefully next week. The two piles represent 39 Oleanders cut down to just 18”,
3 Esperanzas, 2 Pride of Barbados, 6 big bushes cut down to a foot, and a 15’ tree. The pics don’t do the piles justice. The rule is stack between sidewalk and street - I’m in a culd-a-sack so don’t have much room to spread. This is the first time I’ve stacked for a scheduled pick up - have always taken yard waste to the dump. But I bought a new truck and therefore the 12 month rule for going to the dump is in play.

Lots of foliage lost. Good call on the dump. That trucks too pretty to scratch up just yet

I feel your pain Buddy. Just cut down a hedge of Indian Hathorn yesterday, what a mess. I’m still picking up huge pine limbs that broke off. Thankfully I have a set of forks that attach to the front end loader on the tractor but I still have to travel with them across the 40 acres to my burn pile

not only is the growing season beginning, but the emerging from the worst winter freeze in many years is upon us, now that the plumbers are starting to catch up, the landscapers are going to get busy... only problem is the wife seems to think I fall into the latter catagory... :whiteflag:

My bride of 47 years, 9 months, 5 days, and 9 hours knows for sure I’m the landscaper. :laughing7:
