Clearing the Garden

Are there any community groups that offer free clearance of a garden, like we need a shed knocked down etc.

    Not that I know of.

    Hire a skip, do it yourself! Nothing quite as cathartic as smashing a simple garden structure to bits, really get the agression out. My old greenhouse smashed up in suitably gung ho fashion.

    Why do you want someone else to do it. Are you incapacitated?
    I can afford anything that I want.
    Just so long as I don't want much.

    Stick it on ebay with a starting price of 99p and state the buyer needs to take it down .

    There really is something quite theraputic about clearing your garden up. I'm currently working on cutting a really old wisteria right back. It got so big that the pergola it was growing on collapsed. It's a more complicated job because it is entwined in my plum tree that I don't want to cut down so I'm having to pull the wisteria out piece by piece.

    So far it has taken several weekends and green wheelie binfuls. Feels great though.
