Hello,
Gardening is a complete mystery to me. Now I have the following problem: I live in a house where the owner can no longer do any work but still wants the garden maintained. However, a lot has become overgrown by now. I would take care of it, but it’s difficult to clear everything out with just gloves, a shovel, and small pruning shears.
Along the paths and walls of the house, the owner has planted several spots a bit informally. So, I have everything from small trees and shrubs to large and small plants.
As far as I know, all the gardening tools one might need are available, but I have no idea what I actually need. Are there any gardening experts here who could give me some guidance on the best approach?
I thought it would be best to trim everything back to what’s necessary and dig out the rest, but what should I use for trimming, and are there any tips for digging? Or do I really need to remove everything with a shovel?
I already asked the experienced homeowner, but he is over 90 years old and unfortunately struggles with some “age-related mood swings.” I’m not getting any useful advice from him anymore, and sometimes I think that although he used to enjoy doing it, he wasn’t really knowledgeable or efficient when it comes to gardening.
I would be very grateful for any helpful tips.
Basically, I assume I have access to all kinds of gardening tools, even if they aren’t the most common ones for home gardening, as I know a few other garden owners who can provide additional tools if needed.
Best regards

Yes, that also immediately helps solve the problem with the children. 😕That’s a good one [emoji23]... fits well and has space – perfectly matching the Gly and Dynamite garden theme.
I would leave the children with grandpa. Even forgetful people can still handle responsible tasks. But only you can know and decide for yourselves ... whether you want to entrust your children to the owner 😉
