Says it about the previous house owner Paul!
I daren't try setting fire to it - it's close to a power line which skims our far end and powers the cottage next door. Covered in creosote or something so it would go up like a rocket. Also it might have something hibernating in the dross.
I have cut it back hard and found all the dead-ish stuff which does come away easily. Still can't get near enough to the roots to dig anythingup though. I reckon it will need several sessions. |
