Regular Garden Maintenance

Before

After

There are some jobs that a Paddock Worker has to do regularly. Hard pruning of vine plants is highly recommended unless you don't mind loosing your Cubby House to vegetation. Shown here is the Wisteria and Jasmine. Both take hard pruning well - the harder the better. Both will grow back after about 3 or 4 minutes, or at least that's what it feels like. You may notice the handy bins that always travel with me on pruning expeditions. I use these as nothing that grows in the paddock leaves the paddock. Everything gets recycled around trees that I want to grow. Dumping these around trees helps retain moisture in the soil, helps prevent weeds from growing and will rot down to feed the trees and improve the humus in the soil. As for me, it's a nice Shiraz which improves my disposition nicely. Cheers.
