I just got done working in the garden all day. It was the backyard garden, we finally got the hose spigot installed so I can fill wall-o-waters without having to carry jugs around. On one garden bed I wanted the trellis up before I put the wall-o-waters up, and since the fittings I needed finally came this week, I thought I’d just cut my pipes and put my new trellis together.
Lesson: Cutting PVC pipes by hand takes a WHOLE lot longer than I thought it would! It seems I should have been cutting pipes all the while I was waiting for the snow to melt. I sat out by the garden cutting pipes for almost 7 hours, and I’ve only got about half of them done. My shoulder held up longer than I expected, but it’s letting me know I’m in for it tomorrow.
I’ll post pictures of the trellis once it’s done.
The temperature dropped like a rock during the last hour I was working, so I’m going to go eat some soup and thaw out.
I dont know how you cut the PVC or what size it is, but they make a cutter that snips it like garden cutters.
