Many, many years ago this pathway was actually the main street that cars drove up and down past Obachan's house. We are guessing that with all the cars and people going by this hedge was used as a screen. That was until the local council decided to close over the stream flowing on the other side of the farm house to create a road. There was therefore no more need for this hedge in our opinion.
Time and water logged shrubs have caused this hedge to look as it does now. Ugly right!?
So we set to work and started digging up the roots but they weren't coming out without a fight!
One more stubborn tree and we were done!
What a job! I'm here to say we did it and it looks so much better, but that onsen was calling our names.
The next phase is to.....balance things out. I'll show you what I mean next week!
