• Started doing a bit of pruning the other night as our side return was becoming impassable. Predictably it ended up with my up a ladder two hours later swearing at a tree.

    Then, once it was all said and done, I couldn't remove the cuttings because they were covered in thorns.

    With the realisation that I'm not even remotely tooled-up for this stuff, I ordered some gardening gloves and a foldable saw to tackle the chunky stuff. Foldable saws are probably one of the greatest inventions ever. You can literally cut trees down with them.

  • Eye protection as well?
    Cuttings (with or without thorns) can be quite whippy when being pulled out
    Sawing at or above head height will at some point involve a face full of sawdust (wind and Sods Law)
