At this time of year it is important to keep a close eye on your bush to stop it getting out of hand. You can be looking at it on the Tuesday and by Friday it's all over the place and looking totally messy. I mean, what would the neighbours say? There's nothing I hate more than looking out of my window to see my neighbour's bush creeping over the other side of the garden wall. Some mornings I can hardly keep my cornflakes down. It is the reason why you'll always find my bush neatly trimmed and immaculate. You can come round to see if you like!
By the way, garden shears.. always.. Do it the natural way. As God intended.

If it's bad, you need normal garden shears (or maybe even something heavier like loppers) to thin the growth. Electric trimmers are mostly just for shaving off the small twigs, leaves, and for shaping up.

I would use the electric trimmer to do the main job then garden shears to do the final touches. Thus a better outcome.

this time of year you need a nice ly trimed bush I would start by licking aound the croch of the bush and slowly nibble at the long unrully parts , if the bush is enjoying the TRIM I would work around the HOLE thing slowly to ensure I,m doing it right, I hpoe we are talking about a MUFF bush this job can take a long time as we can,t rush bush trimming,I would keep trimming untillthe job is done to your satisfaction than I would move on to filling the gap the trimming exposed.

Yes keeping the bush trimmed is nice I hate going to the dentist for a hair cut.

I would start with manual shears and see how that goes. If I feel I'm making sufficient progress I'd continue with the shears - you will get the satisfaction of having done it the "old fashioned way" and maybe even having got some exercise out of it. If it starts to feel like you will grow old before you're done go the mechanised way.

We recently hired a petrol trimmer and they were worth every penny. Lost track of the times that we have cut the cable on the electric ones.

We bought a sweet electric trimmer at WalMart this past weekend - it works so well, I won't ever have to beg my hubby to trim mine ever again!

Use a Wahl personal trimmer. It gets in tight spots too. Good luck...and don't over fertilize!!!
