    This was a super fun video. I am always struck by how few weeds you have in your garden. I would love to hear how you manage weeds in a future video. I think your Groundcover strategy is good, so maybe that is one of your secrets. Plus hard work, I suspect. Thanks for the instruction in this one - super helpful.

      The secret for us has been the Hula Hoe. I think it's also called a loop hoe. We just carry it around and take after a little bit here and there

    Glad to see you guys got the small chainsaw. Dewalt makes awesome tools. I just used mine on “pruning “ all the broken branches from our latest dumping of heavy snow (27”). Not what I planned on, but nature obviously had different intentions.

    lol. such an excessive tool for the task, but I 100% agree with cutting those babies back! I sat through a whole summer, leaving mine large and spindley, cut it down to the ground the following spring and was SHOCKED at how quickly it recovered and the beautiful foliage it produced. Well done!

    Also, just a video idea: take footage from this video and combine it with little snippets of how it’s growing all summer and people can see rejuvenation prunes aren’t as scary as they seem.

    I used to live in CNY and had a larger smoke bush that I took down to about 2 feet. It had been sending up a lot of tall whip-like branches. Anyways, it never seemed to grow right afterwards and I was always pruning it. Alas, it died (I suspect I had something to do with that). : )

    Good morning😃wonderful that you made this video on coppicing, a courageous approach one may need to do at times in the garden. Great for many deciduous shrubs, with evergreens it takes years, a definite no with coniferous specimens.

    I am having another panic attack over your "coppicing". (I feel like I learn new words on your channel all the time and I have been gardening for years). I am not that brave. I will be sitting on the side of the chair this Spring and Summer waiting to see the progress on your shrubs. I would like you to do a month by month show of these shrubs for progress and for those of us who are more than a bit squeamish to prune so much. You gotta love that little chain saw 💪
