You said there were surprises in that bush. So are you going to tell us what they are? Are you talking critters & snakes?
Correct actually....there is a 1940's something car at the bottom of the gully that hasn't been seen in 8-9 years.... Other surprises are car parts, box springs and random metal stuff that I didn't want to hit with the machine since we don't own it. Previous owners had a junk yard in the back - metal detecting anywhere back there is a hit every few feet.
Snakes yes - but they usually like to chill in the wood pile....none that are poisonous. Critters - yes but I'm not particularly scared of black bears, deer and coyotes. I just really didn't want to mess up the blade on the hog by ramming it into some old tractor part 1/2 submerged in the clay.
@Mindgrinder another canuck and his garden ;D Pyramid Garden II still haven't figured out the watering system. Hoping for some input from some of the engines on here.
