Sure glad he brought a helper

[PHPaul]

Hispanic gent (citizen...) has a mowing business, plus general handyman service. I've kept his mowers running for several years.

Contacted me a couple of days ago, wanted to know if I was interested in a job helping him turn an old garden back into mowable lawn. Paid, of course. Sure, why not? Went over today.

BIG garden and hadn't been used in many moons, owner getting on in years. Overgrown and rougher than a cob, looks like the feller liked raised beds.

First pass, got tangled up in some of that black weed barrier cloth. Turns out the whole garden was that way: Strip of cloth, raised bed, another strip of cloth, raised bed - rinse, repeat. All sunk into the ground with grass and weeds growing up through it so you couldn't see it.

I bet Reynaldo and his helper cut 100 yards of that crap out of my tiller tines.

Looks good tho, pretty much all leveled out after three passes at 90° to each other and a bit of back-dragging with the bucket here and there.
