Footprint 30: More plot clearing

Once the boxes were complete, Comfort and Alex 'trimmed' the brazilian pepper so that it no longer interferes with the overhead electrical cabling:

Here is what the pepper looks like now

I thought I had a problem last weekend with the syringa that had to be removed.  I think I have a bigger task now:
Pepper trimmings
This is going to be a long task.  The greenery needs to be removed for inclusion in the compost heap.  The smaller branches need to be cut into tiny pieces for compost and mulch.  The larger wood pieces that cannot be reduced with a secateur will need to be lugged to the municipal dump.  I figure there are more than 10 trips in that pile!
