Yard Brush Removal Tips | Spring & Fall Yard Cleanup

[@MrChangchichris]

It is USEFUL! Thank you for showing us how to do it.

I'm glad it was helpful!

I like your bundle technique. I used to work at a farm equipment sales & repair shop about 20 years ago and bought a double roll of bailer twine for $60. It is much stronger than your light twine so it holds better, and I still have about a half roll left. Keep it up. 👍

[@MikeFyxdt]

Oh! I think I should get some of that! My thin jute keeps snapping when I tie it. Thanks for the suggestion and thanks for watching!

I have lots of thin tree branches fallen on the yard. I didn’t know how to bundle up so the garbage truck can pick them up. I will go to home depot and buy these stuff. Thank you.

You're welcome!

Thanks for a fantastic idea. I hate bundling trimmings using just twine,but, this makes it so much easier. I wish I knew about this 40-years ago.

[@MikeFyxdt]

Thank you Mark! Year after year I was wasting good money on much thicker string and rope in order to get a tight bundle. These lashing straps made all the difference, and now I can use inexpensive twine to get the job done. Thanks for sharing your comments and for watching!

[@compubyte2010]

Very cool !! Great idea ! However..i think of just laay the strap out horizontally, and lay the cut branches across it ,so When done just pick up strap and wrap it up . Imo

[@gfromkalama8041]

I was for sure someone would comment to lay the straps down first, then cut and stack.

[@MikeFyxdt]

George, I get bored easily and so I sometimes mix up the order, like you suggest. This isn’t rocket science, but it does make it a little bit easier and a little bit more fun!

Nice big yard you have, Mike. I’m not a yard person but still enjoy watching you work... 😃

[@MikeFyxdt]

I used to say, “I love hard work! I could watch people do it for hours…“ yes, I love it here and enjoy the exercise I get from taking care of the yard. This time of year can be a little overwhelming, but come June and July everything should be under control. That’s when the party really gets started! 😄😎

I hear you! Let the reaping begin! 🕺

@@mokumholland5640 that’s awesome! I think by November we will have herd immunity, provided people don’t get ridiculous. Fingers crossed!

Good stuff; thx

You're welcome! Thanks for watching!

I have been doing the lashing straps for two seasons. Been thinking about spending about $200 on a new brush shredder for sapling size stuff. Should i stick with just the straps or add the shredder?

[@MikeFyxdt]

You’re asking me?? NEW TOOLS!!! NEW TOOLS!!! 😄

[@lizulmer7843]

One word for you: tarp Much quicker... IMO. Nice yard!! 😀

[@MikeFyxdt]

Thanks! I still need to bundle for the trash people to haul it away. Tarp comes out when it's time to gather the leaves!

[@lizulmer7843]

In Tallahassee, where I live, we just have to make a neat pile, bundling would be painful!! In our wealthiest neighborhoods (where I do NOT live), they are allowed to put their yard trash in trash cans, which get emptied and put back at the curb. 😲

[@MikeFyxdt]

@@lizulmer7843 I would love that!

Bwa ha ha! That guy was a freaking genius! Nickname accepted!

[@willowwrenn]

I would take that strap wrap it around the bush tighten it up then cut the bush and then pick it up carry it away Save-A-Lot a mess

[@dudley7540]

I thought you were going to tie them up before cutting. Easier to cut evenly!

[@MikeFyxdt]

If I cut them after I tied them up, it would be harder to put the pieces I cut off in the bundle. I guess it depends on the type of branches that you are gathering… Always worth trying something new!
