Sow we weeded

Sunday, 16th of September 2018

On this fine Sunday morning Melaine and I btoh ventured to Mr K garden, where we were plesantly greeted by his daughter.

She showed us all the locations of the nasty weeds in the front and back garden, and we had a quite an interesting discussion regarding the process of different weed killers ( I never reallly new!) Due to Melaines' niftyness with weeds, she showed me a cool trick that requires a big, long screwdriver and a technique to de-weed from the entire root! However, I noticed that when you pulled the entire root out, a little group of woodlice would emerge, hoepfully not to one day emerge into A MONSTER OF A WOOD LICE!!

So we cracked on, with spraying and de weeding with our handy tools whilst having a good natter on how to set the world right! A hefty full bag of weeds and sneaky bindweeds was de-weeded around the garden!

Mr K daughter and two great grandaughters came out to say hello and bring us both a cuppa, and shared tips to how they weeded too, about GoodGym and why Mr K has 3 strimmers!! All in all good team work, and a lovely clear garden to for healthy grass to grow!
