I watch lawn and garden transformations... that are offered for FREE.
A landscaper searches an area for a property left to overgrowth... gets the story...
records his work... and posts it on his social media... as a source of income.
Some may just donate one day a week to a free makeover...
some do it full time... perhaps taking several days to finish a clean-up.
Some pay for all costs of hauling and dumping, as well.
Many times there are interesting stories to be told... and citizens to donate to.
In one older video, the landscaper guy was stating that it was his channel
that was the first channel to begin the idea to do these FREE makeovers
and post it online... make adsense money... and help the community...
a win-win kind of setup.
Now there are many channels with these videos.
Some are experts... some are just trying a new schtick.
They are all working hard at their lawn work... nevertheless.
Each landscaper has his own routine... his own sequence of tasks.
It is instructive to watch as they organize their work... or make a task simpler.
This year they all began to use tarps as wheelbarrow-type haulers.
Debris would get piled up and dragged away quickly and easily.
(I used this handy method years ago, but I used a rope through the hoop holes
and let the tarp sides curl in and around the pile.
I haven't seen that one done, yet... in these videos.)
Who... will be first to add the rope to the tarp hauler...?
One guy in Australia caught my attention for his gardening knowledge.
He tells something about the plants he prunes... or their usefulness.
He gets on his knees to hand-clean flower beds.
He sweeps loose debris into a series of small piles,
then whisks the small piles into a dustpan and dumps into a yard bag.
Other gardeners most often blow debris into a big pile with a lawn blower
and either mulch it with a lawnmower and or just leave it on the lawn
or pick it up with a side catcher and dump it in the bed of the truck.
I just hate all that dust and debris getting blown into the air.
I yell at my monitor... "sweep up what you can sweep FIRST!!!"
But... no one hears.
So... at the moment my favorite gardener is Aiden from GardenCareGuru on YouTube.
Today's video was a makeover for a man who is trying to retire
and was working double shifts to save money to retire...
and who didn't have the proper equipment anyway to maintain his garden.
As for many... hiring a landscaper is their strategy... not amassing tools.
And it helps to know the skills... and have the strength... to do it.
So... I'm watching today's video makeover
but I couldn't understand clearly what was said at the ending...
so I paused the video every half-second
to catch the Closed Captions.
It was funny how the caption software interpreted the words.
Was it because of the Australian accent...? don't know...
but... when I saw how it matched with what was really said
... at first I laughed... and then it wasn't funny...
IS THIS WHAT WILL HAPPEN WITH A...I... ?
Will it not be able to translate conversations accurately...?
Will it be just like the lie detector...?
"NOT ADMISSIBLE IN COURT"...?
The video:
"Homeowner THREATENS To Call the POLICE... but that didn't stop me."
The funny caption translations at the end:
