I have had to cancel my pilates classes this week after a few weeks of low attendance. However, this afternoon I got exercise using hand shears to prune one side of a fairly long box hedge. These are all the cuttings from just one side of the hedge! I will prune the top and other side of the hedge some other time.
I much prefer using hand shears in peace and quiet. I have never felt tempted to buy a noisy hedge pruner even though hand pruning is a lot more work.
