I have a long garden and there were about 90 trees in it. The bottom 300 square metres was a total jungle with trees, huge shrubs, huge weeds, briers and what have you covering the area.

About 12 weeks ago I started hacking into the "jungle" and started to destroy everything in site that wasn't pretty, useful, or impossible to chop down.

With me so far?... After I cut down quite a few trees which, although over 25 feet high were only about 4 to 5" in diameter, I got to a size that the chainsaw couldn't handle and I then turned to a 30 year old hand axe that's never been sharpened in it's life.

It actually took down several larger trees and I then had to use the axe to split them up.
