This COMMUNITY GARDEN was CUT OFF from NEIGHBORHOOD so I fixed that

I'm so excited to share this weeks video with you all. This community garden was in desperate need of some help - especially since there was no safe access! The sidewalks were completely overgrown and covered - so I spent 16 hours there and got them usable again. I was so so thankful to have met some great people and also be invited to their growing party in a few weeks.
Love the community I live in and so thankful I get to do this work!

Our first home was in a poorer neighborhood. The first spring my husband went out and swept the gutter and street in front of our house. Soon all the neighbors were out doing the same.😊 I was planting my garden spaces and offered neighbors plants I was thinning. Soon our whole block was lifted to a space filled with friendship and beauty! All it takes is someone to start!❤

[@dianehillman7808]

That's beautiful! ❤

[@lornamurdocheaton624]

We just moved I to a poorer neighborhood and people started seeing us clean and mow and now they are doing it too. They told our next door neighbor we had the nicest places in the area. So glad they are following suit

[@4ofSeven]

A company needs to sponsor a wood chipper for you. You can return all the mulch back into the trees. Save you some money. And maybe even provide some mulch for the community gardens at the same time. Come on corporate America. This man needs some equipment.

[@AdamBragg]

That's a great idea! Also, putting piles of dead wood into the forested area increases the risk of brush fires, so having a wood chipper to mulch the trees would be better on several fronts. Hopefully some manufacturer or seller sees this and steps up.

[@KjcIpswich]

What a terrific idea

[@fjklfdasdf]

@@AdamBragg dead wood is also good for biodiversity, insects and small animals live in it...

[@AdamBragg]

@@fjklfdasdf You are correct, but as with many things, it is only good in moderation. Typically, these channels show large amounts of dead wood being removed from the cleaned up area. If all that wood is being "relocated" (ie. dumped) into a single location, then the risk of it starting a fire becomes greater than the benefit.

[@aok2727]

I was thinking the same. All the makings of fabulous compost is being cut in this video!!

New Member here. My husband was a lineman (and a farmer) for 35 years. There's nothing sexier than a man with a toolbelt (and a tractor) or mower as the case may be.

I’m 67 and just happened to find this channel. I’m hooked. Nothing is more satisfying than watching a transformation of something be it a lawn, a home renovation or a before after haircut. I take care of my yard but I have neighbors who are renters who let things go. Every day I have trash to pick up. My nextdoor neighbor has an early teens son and I’ve caught him making fun of me picking up trash. I want to say if you want to live in a dump then go pitch a tent and live there.

[@margaretburgess4007]

Exactly! Where are the tax dollars going?

[@rachelnegri8411]

I agree, I'm in SE WI and i don't see sidewalks in this shape in my city at all.

[@JohnGotts]

This is Metro Detroit. The population has been constant for 50+ years, but the size of the metro has grown (doubled in area? I don't have exact figures). The city in this video is one that has emptied out in favor of outlying areas, losing tax revenue in the process. Pretty typical of Midwestern cities, a fairly constant population migrating outwards, leaving older cities to fend for themselves. Metro Detroit has some older suburbs that have flourished. I happen to live next to one. This one needs help, and I'm glad to see it happening.

You're right. Sidewalks are city property. As for his subscribers, he has a lot of YT competition from people who clean up private properties for free.

[@Wheel_Horse]

In some cities, keeping the sidewalk clear falls on the property owner. It's not clear if the city owns that property, or if it's some 3rd party. It appears that at one time there may have been a home on that lot since there is apparently a driveway apron. If there is a 3rd party owner, it's clear that they've abandoned the property. BUT, in any case, the city should still be responsible at the end of the day, either finding the property owner and compelling them to maintain the property or biting the bullet and at LEAST clear the sidewalk.

[@joshuaguenin9507]

[@curiouscat3384]

Bigger Elephant - if these people consider themselves a "community" and they're all gardeners, then why can't THEY VOLUNTEER their time to spruce up the property. Disgusting that everybody thinks 'they" should do something about it meaning the government, but nobody wants to pay taxes for it. Do you think city workers are manna from heaven? It's high time "communities" do their own work.

I saw a video of a freeway in Tokyo Japan about 25 years ago. Trash up to your waist lined the roads, causing traffic accidents. The City passed an ordinance requiring a $10 million yen fine and comminity setvice.

Email governor, mayor, this might get things moving to keep city's clean an healthy

Love to watch his channel . I wish he could come to my gardenyard and clean the mess and makes my garden looks alive again . He deserve a trophy . Greetings from Netherland .

Amazing, you always give each job one hundred percent, which shows in the finished job. I wish that there were more caring people like you.

[@Lougan44]

A tool called a mattock would dig those small stump clusters right out! It is pointed on one end and rectangular on the other with a handle like an axe.❤❤❤I see George from Tasmania Australia use it on his channel ‘Quick Cuts 2’.

[@0oDaan12o0]

After so many gardening videos on YT like yours, FINALLY someone who uses a spade for spading and a shovel for shoveling. Most people use a shovel for both and it just takes a lot of effort and time and ruines a perfectly fine shovel. Thank you!

[@janeparker6447]

I need a nap after watching you! 😀 Be blessed 💗

[@witchiehall5783]

Just thought I'd let you know that you've become my Monday morning coffee routine....thank you!

[@atpeece1]

SHINE ON young man. Lay your treasures up!

[@mandyhill1698]

You definitely don't need a gym membership!! You always go above and beyond with these makeovers that looks like another area that's been neglected for a long time the city should be ashamed, people pay their taxes but it takes someone with a massive heart to put things right. Amazing job💕

[@ewood7372]

You don’t need a “like” but an award for this!

[@thomasluby1754]

Mind-boggling effort. That was unbelievable. I cannot believe what you accomplished in just 16 hours. I was getting tired just by watching. I'm sure there are many people grateful that those two sidewalks are clear and that you cleaned up the community garden. Great job! PS Maybe some generous subscriber will donate a new mower.

[@BonsaiM]

It's so gross how people feel the need to dump their trash wherever they feel like rather than dispose of it appropriately. Good to see someone step up and do the right thing seeing as others can't 👍

[@RosaLee-bb4hs]

I don't understand why the people don't complain to the City or County and why they let it get in such bad shape anyway.(city & county). That was a very big job. God Bless

[@Aunty-A]

Great job Stockman!!! Thanks for being the Caretaker in Chief for your community!!!!❤❤❤❤❤👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[@DebbieGarland-yx5ou]

You are awesome 😎!! Thank you for hopefully bringing this community garden back to life 😁😊

[@ddrinnon57]

You continue to impress your viewers every week with much dedication and fortitude! Keep up the wonderful work you provide to your community!

[@annettevertalino9273]

I know you said it was a hot day, but please cover your nose and mouth so you're not breathing in all that nasty dirt and who knows what else. I would hate for you to suffer the consequences of being kind.

[@casesandcapitals]

Yeah, COPD is no joke. I know several guys who stopped being able to move around like this because of all the stuff they inhaled over a couple decades of work. Even a neck gaiter is better than nothong!

[@sandramadaris7814]

Agree! Wearing a mask or bandana, eye protection, hearing protection, gloves, proper heavy shoes, hat, sunscreen, bug spray...one has to be properly "outfitted" to do such physical labor! Seems silly to fully fit young people, but inhaling all that stuff, or getting foreign objects in the eyes, etc is NOT fun! In my youth we had to wear proper gear for our summer outdoor jobs, same in the military. Glad I learned those protective measures when I was younger!

[@phyllisprice7887]

I think your next investment is a floppy hat, to cover head and back of neck, that's a bad place to get a sunburn ❤

[@333grace]

Perhaps on a case by case basis. He's doing heavy work. If he puts on a mask without oxygen he'll pass out. Masks can be very detrimental if we're constantly breathing back in the bacteria our bodies are try to expel. Many times worse than what would have been breathed in and expelled without it.

[@R-Texas]

@annettevertalino9273 I was going to mention that in my comment, but read yours, so ditto what you say. Your “who knows what else” is real concerning, the dirt getting in his lungs and nasal passages is bad enough. I thought it would be a shame for Sean to be doing all that cardio work only to destroy his lungs. Stay healthy Sean! 👍

[@graceyoungbeck1055]

Hi hi. Another epic cleanup. You must really exhausted. Make sure you rest up well.

[@mariannegathier7574]

Sooo glad you stopped to check it out. What a fantastic project to help a community garden and such a massive morale boost for the volunteers who help out there. ❤❤❤

[@n.w.414]

It’s nice that there are so many guys cleaning up the neighbourhoods now.

[@sisterjessiebrown516]

Thank you so much for caring for your community and people in general. May God bless you abundantly!

[@lauranievinski8323]

I love when you clean up public spaces and this one is incredible. How wonderful for the community garden and the community and that neighborhood, in general. It’s so satisfying to see sidewalks that were once blocked to be open again! You really outdid yourself on this one, but your transformations are always amazing.

[@carolcarvalho4873]

My brother there is no point in helping others and your neighbourhood if you are hurting yourself in doing so., all that dust you blew up into your lungs will affect you in a negative way. Why not wear a mask whenever you are blowing or contending with dry grass all those particles you inhale stick to your lungs and will definitely hurt you in the long run. I love what you do and why you do it but please take care of yourself . Great job every time.💯👍👍

[@eza1039]

Yes wear mask...thats a great 1:07:03 job .. very worth my time watching👍 New subscriber here.

[@cherylmack1260]

Those arial shots are incredible.

[@oermama]

What an unbelievable mess that community garden area was, you made it looking neat and crisp again 👌👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💪🏼 a pity the guy from the community garden didn’t show up, like he said he would. Great job 👌

[@Vette60]

We never know of a person’s circumstance, perhaps the gentleman had an emergency come up and could not make it. The true blessing is that the area is now cleared so many can enjoy.

[@oermama]

@@Vette60 Yes that’s true. I’ll correct my answer, a pity instead of a shame sounds better.

[@yokrob9279]

Bless you, and bless the parents who raised you. May you prosper on a grand scale. Great job!

[@barbarabrown5709]

Love how you really get the junk off the lot and just don’t mow around it

[@olliedawson342]

This is a real narly one. Great job. Glad to see you hydrating. Lucky you also have good women ❤

[@luranyl]

American soldiers in World War II were amazed that the sidewalks and roads in Germany were always clean or had been cleaned even after air raids or battles. In Germany, people take care of their immediate surroundings, and the municipality also works on public streets, parks and public meadows with professional equipment. You will hardly find anything as run-down here.

[@TreasureSwanson]

I lived in Germany Jan. 1963 - May 1968. I loved how well the Germans kept the streets clean. When I returned Stateside I was shocked that people threw garbage out car windows and didn’t keep their yards clean! States have anti-trash laws now. If one is caught trashing the environment there will be a fine to pay. I live in a clean area, but in the east side of town it’s trashy.

[@ajanblogs]

One-hour vid. What a treat! Thank you ❤

[@Sheaikrafiq]

You know brother? you give people to hope !to believe someone take care of society. don't give up keep it up ❤❤
