Relandscaping flower bed

[kedigato]

This flower bed was a horrible mess - choc-ful of weeds and a 99% dead hibiscus.

First off, I cut the hibiscus back to about 1 meter and removed all of the side branches, then Peter had the awful job of trying to dig the root out. No fun job at the best of times, but in this heat .....

After several goes and cutting smaller roots along the way, we were finally able to pull it out together.

Sorry, I seem to have not taken any pics before we started on it.

Well done Kedi and Peter, I always think there is something very satisfying when despite the back ache you see a big hole in the ground and know that you have got the bugger out! ;D

Very true, it was a hard battle but we won in the end. It took both of us to carry the unwieldy thing around the side of the house and out to the road side for the yard waste garbage men to pick up. That service is exceptionally good here in Bradenton.
