Gardening is an ongoing process isn't it aym. Before you can blink something has become huge and swamping everything. That bamboo was poking out of the top of the eleagnus next to it and through the grass path. Now I can ignore it for another 10 years The mower will deal with the grass invaders
NUt - having been problem free for years, I have recently developed an allergic reaction to goose grass and now have to wear gloves to deal with it and sleeves and long trousers and boots when wading in to fish it out of shrubs and tall perennials. Otherwise my skin goes sore and red with a nasty rash.
Don't have any bamboo and a freak -32C killed off my eleagnus in 2009 so can't help with those.

Ouch! That looks sore nut. Get well soon and keep an eye out for more prickles while you're shredding ?.
I hate using gardening gloves.
My diy manicure consists of a good scrub with an old wooden nailbrush in hot soapy water, a generous slather of hand cream and in severe cases of ingrained muck, a splash of dark nail polish covers up a multitude of stains.

I look at the well manicured hands on some of the telly gardening presenters, and think..
They've not seen much action in the garden. No badges of honour. Or maybe they all have nettle free brambles free and rose free gardens. Hmmm.
I figure so long as my tetanus jab is up to date, I'll be ok.
That's the way to look at it Fidget. I can't be worrying about it.
Even without the current damages my hands couldn't be described as well manicured.

Nah, they're so busy being on tv/writing articles/giving talks that the Undergardeners are the ones with the badges of honour
Hope it's better soon Nut - I'd best pack some Aloe Vera gel on Thursday just in case ...
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Thanks Dove, better already
