ReplyDeleteWe've been hunting for a gardener for ages, they have all said the same thing "Too much work". However, I think we may now have found someone; he'll come to see what needs to be done! I just hope he says "OK".
DeleteHow can riding around on a ride-on for an hour and a half once a fortnight be too much work? Plenty of garden maintenance men around here would happily do it.
ReplyDeleteSend them over! It's amazing, with all the unemployment around, that for a small investment someone could start a profitable business, where work is guaranteed. Yet no-one can be bothered.
DeleteYou're in the wrong country. Other youTube videos I watch are garden clean-ups in the good old USof A. Its big business over there and the work they do turning jungles into neat backyards is amazing.
ReplyDeleteHope you find your grounds keeper
I'm hoping we have found someone, but he has yet to come and see us.
DeleteI know this moment when you tell yourself that you have no more power to do all the work and then it is impossible to find someone else to do it.
ReplyDeleteI would do it if I was here, it's just that we'll be away, and I really don't want to come back next year to how it was a month ago.
DeleteI would apply but it sounds like hard work to me. Would I be able to swim in the pool as long as I didn't p.... pollute the pool.
ReplyDeleteYou'd be making so much money, you could install your own pool and p** in it to your heart's content!
DeleteThe rural work scene has all gone tits up since the French had their revolution.
ReplyDeleteThe paysanes now do nothing but knit and eat cake.
DeleteIn the US, there are people with good businesses working as landscapers. A friend has a a small lawn space with a long driveway with wood chips and shrubs. They mow and trim shrubs biweekly then use a leaf blower to clear the asphalt drive and this is $1,200 each visit. In 1 hour everything is complete with 2 people working.
ReplyDelete$600 an hour for garden work seems slightly excessive. I could fly out from England, hire a car, cut the grass, and return for a lot less than $600.
DeleteA fellow comes round here once a week, with a huge mower and small equipment on a trailer. In an hour or so he has mowed three acres, weed wacked, cleaned up and gone.
ReplyDeleteDoes he travel? He's just what I'm looking for!
