Dave- borrow a goat- they eat everything. It will soon deal with overgrown grass. Goats even eat old newpapers! I don't know where the nearest goat-hire place is- but I do know there's some in Wem! We had a wilderness garden problem when we moved into this house. Mr Wiggy would hardly qualify as a rival to Alan Titchmarsh. I made a few pathetic onslaughts on the undergrowth with a scythe. (It was like a Jungle, I expected to meet a monkey or something.) In the end Mr Wiggy (who was working then) drafted in a work colleague who liked gardening. If you don't like gardening, either hire a goat- or a friend who likes gardening!

Dave, your problems appear to be caused by neglect on your part which, if you don't like gardening is understandable. My advice would be to pay a professional for one day and you will be amazed at the difference. They have all the right equipment and take all the rubbish away as well. Once there is a degree of tidiness back you need to devote as little as 1 hour a week in order to maintian it. Don't let it get out of hand again and your not faced with this dilemma in the future.

Will they eat 10 foot high overgrown hedges? they must breed hard nut goat up in Wigan! I don't think even "come and get us if you're 'ard enough" goats from Wigan could tackle those hedges, Dave! You need a giraffe! Come to think of it an elephant would be useful to carry all the tree-trunks away! (Better ask Kitten Kate- she always seems to go to a Zoo on hr birthday!) Seriuosly, Jamo is right. When we both worked, the garden got beyond us a couple of times. Both times, we drafted in some help, and after that, we could manage it. Second time we gave the job to a lad who was out of work. Mr Wiggy still dislikes gardening. Plus me having better health- I usually end up doing it! He just cuts the grass.

When I saw the title, I thought it was another thread about Bill Wingrove that I'd missed! By the way, I've got a shredder that you can borrow, but it only takes five sheets of paper at a time, so I don't think that it will be much good for your jungle
