We bought our house last summer & we are now getting to grips with the huge garden. The previous owners seemed to favour lots of huge vicious spiky thorned bushes & trees, they are all over the place. We don't think they are particularly child friendly & some keep attacking DH as he tries to mow the lawn so we are keen to remove at least some of them.
We took out a group of three but it was painful going even with thick leather gloves & Iong sleeves. I'm also now continually raking thorns & spiked leaves out of the ground.
Does anybody have any tips on how to do this as we've got loads more to do (About 20 large shrubs) and my poor hands are suffering.
