Cleaning Up After Trimming Bushes |
|
|
- Before trimming your bushes, place a king size "old" blanket or sheet under the bush you are going to trim (making sure you cover all the way around the bush and then some.
- Trim your hedge or bush.
- Gently roll up your trimmings in the blanket.
- Put blanket into your yard waste can or lawn bag and shake out the trimmings into the bag. Voila! No, tedious clean-up after trimming, and your yard work will be done in a jiffy.

The lazy woman's way to do it:
Trim the shrubs before you cut the grass.
Rake the trimmings out into the yard.
Mow the yard with a mulching lawn mower.
All the trimmings "disappear"! (Well, not totally, but I'm not going to worry about an occasional boxwood leaf on my lawn.)
If you miss a few trimmings around or behind the shrubs, just give it a little time. They will turn brown and blend right in with the mulch.

How timely. I just finished trimming some bushes and could have used this tip. Any suggestions for NOT cutting the electric cord?
