I'm supposed to work for these people

The boss refuses to put down any sort of weed proof membrane because, and I quote "it takes too long", when my entire job is going to our 7/8 different areas and weeding! They're so big that by the time we (a team of 2) have finished weeding one area, it's already begun to grow at the start. Honestly I'm lost for words

 

Like painting the Forth Bridge!!!

Couldn't have said it better myself.

 

On the other hand....if he takes the advice, will you be out of a job?

 

Well, no. I mean, there's a lot of work. Roses that have been left for years, hedges that barely get touched, lots of long needed maintenance

 

Why don`t you suggest a trial on one of the sites, then you can prove what difference it will make.

 

I've suggested that, "no no we will just keep doing it as we are. "

Time to update the resume!

 

I understand that, but leaving until weeds set seed and hoeing over taproot weeds won't reduce it...

 

Yeah, you're right. I'll have a word this week, weed killers aren't an option in Sweden either, we aren't allowed to use them.. Heh.

 

I think that's a good thing.
