best lawn mower on hills image
Lunar Sara
I live on the hill and have a long driveway. At the top, I have a retaining wall that's about 3 and a half feet high. Past the wall, the garden is at about a 45 degree angle for about six feet (~20 feet across), then the ground levels out into my yard/grass. The garden is completely overgrown with weeds, poison ivy, etc. Normally I would just take the lawn mower to it and mow everything down, but due to the angle, I won't be able to easily get at it with a lawn mower.
I can't seem to figure out what the best way to attack it is. I don't want to just dive in and start pulling because I'll be up to my elbows in poison ivy, spiders and possible snakes.
Any ideas would be helpful.
Suggestions beyond hiring someone to do it. Thanks.
Answer
I'd borrow a couple goats from the neighbors and let them have at it for a week or two, then do a cut and fill terrace and solarize.
No goats? Apply a good layer of poison ivy barrier cream like Ivy Block or Onguard to all exposed skin. Wearing long sleeved shirt, long pants, gloves, and with a sweat rag tied around your forehead if it's a warm day, start at the driveway with loppers and work across, bundling the materials for composting. DO NOT BURN PI!!! It can, however, be safely composted.
Then continue with cut and fill and solarization. Intermediate retaining walls may be needed.

Years ago I tweaked my back snowboarding like 17 years ago i was ok thought I broke my back but I WAS ok. Now today I was pushing a lawn mower up a hill and my foot slipped causing me to lunge forward in an awkward position it hurt a bit no pop just a weird feeling. Now the top of my legs or quads are numbish I feel out of balance I may have broken my back just today without even realizing it?
Answer
No, most likely you slipped a disc or you already had a spinal hernia and the fall has made it protrude a little more, compressing your nerves and giving you that numb feeling.
You will not be able to move if you had broken your back.
I strongly suggest a visit to your doctor or even a&e just to rule out any serious trauma.
Good luck.
