Weeding 1


Weeding is no small exercise in NZ, particularly on a lifestyle block. Around here, weeds grow like - erm.... - super-weeds.

The weekend before last, weeding consisted of taking down a whole eight-foot tall tree which had grown in the two years since we bought the place.

It was quite a pretty tree with lovely yellow flowers. But it's those lovely yellow flowers which are the source of its evil. It's an invasive Australian species, a wattle, which spreads like wildfire.

Luckily the jaws of death made light work of it.
