Yesterday I went to Woburn to trim my grandfather's shrubs. I'd never done such a thing before but I decided that it wouldn't hurt to develop another skill to put on my resume. And so, I plugged in an electric bush-trimmerator thingy and went to town like Edward Scissorhands. The first bush I trimmed suffered some permanent injuries but before I knew it the shrubs were starting to look like they had just walked out of a beauty salon. Through this experience I learned many a valuable lesson and now wish to share my wisdom with the world:
-Secrets of Excellent Bush Care-
1. Choose your tools wisely. A manual variety will allow you to easily finesse your bush, while an electric-powered unit can git 'er done faster. Remember also, it's not the size that matters; it's how you use it.
2. Try to go for evenness and shapeliness. A lopsided bush can make a bad impression on visitors.
3. Don't trim your bush too short. Remember, you can always take off more later but you can't put any back on. Not everyone likes their bushes bald.
4. Bushes can be dangerous. If the bush is infested with critters, be very cautious and use some form of protection when working on it.
5. No two bushes are alike; make sure you get to know each one well before investing your time in it and risking potential disaster. Focus on one bush at a time - it will save you energy and help avoid confusion.
6. Don't be hasty. You can't dive into a bush like a madman and expect good results. Take your time, show it some love, and don't stop until it seems finished.
7. Think of the whole neighborhood and show off your hard work. Everybody can appreciate a nice-looking bush!
