Sometimes we run through our gardens like whirling dervishes – clippers in hand – weeding and whacking and pulling and digging. When we are done, the beds look great, but everything else – pathways, patios, decks and entrances – look terrible. And we’re simply too tired to do anything about it. Result? Zero satisfaction from an afternoon’s work.
Do yourself a favor this season and buy a lightweight handled trug for $5 and pick it up the moment you pick up the pruners. Easy to fill, easy to dump and far less agro than a heavy wheelbarrow. As your mother always told you: Clean up as you go and you won’t be faced with more work afterwards!
