All that lockdown time to tidy the house and still mine doesn't get done. 30 years of bank statements, utility bills that go back as far as the spinning Jenny, instructions and guarantees for stuff that has been replaced several times waiting to be shredded. I did tidy out the kitchen cupboards, though😇
@B3 Â If you don't want people to see them and you don't want to burn them, put them into a container (like my faithful friend, the wheelbarrow) and soak them with water. Â When they dry, they are so stuck together that your business is not other people's and you can dispose of them easily.
Soak and compost sounds like a plan. I'd have to lift the lid on the ottoman effort that I've chucked them in, though. Admittedly, they're in bulging subject folders so I'm not quite a candidate for one of those hoarder programmes - yet. I can't watch them. People with obvious mental health issues being humiliated for mass entertainment. Sickening. But I digress as usual. It's part of my charm😊
Don't pull on a dogwood sucker the width of a cable that has rooted itself in your wildlife habitat woodpile without remembering that:
a) when the tension finally gives, you will go flying
b) there is a well established rosebush and a vegetable patch behind you.
The tree won't really care, you will have ripped your shirt and large sections of your skin, there will be some very squashed spring onions, and you'll have done something funny to your shoulder when you landed. Today has been a day of TCP and hot baths.
@B3 Looks like the chemist still sells it, yes. Which is good, because since my first forays into gardening last year, I've used a lot more of it than I have done since childhood. I can still smell it on my hands today, and it did indeed sting, so you're right - it must have worked!
