  I’m gearing up to get rid of the yucca in my garden. Bastard is like 2.5 metres tall.

  Gonna take some doing but we’ll get there.

    Good luck, I did some reading about that and it’s a tough job. Eye (and even ear) protection advised, apparently their pointy leaves have been known to both blind and deafen people by poking into places they do not belong.

    Do you have a stump treatment/removal plan to stop regrowth?

      Have my gardening goggles!!! For ears I should be okay. Going to cut the branches off and then trim them at ground level.

      For the stumps, I have some poison ready. Hate using it, but not going to pay for a stump grinder.

  I think the yuccas are a bit old fashioned now, it’s all synthetic grass and badly laid rock ‘mulch’ with bits of plastic liner showing through. Both options are also riddled with overgrown weeds.

  I’ll have you know I own zero football gnomes. The rest however…
