I need a man to trim my bush!

I have a problem. My bush has become really overgrown and I need a man to trim it for me. Unfortunately I am not skilled at trimming my own bush, perhaps because I find it hard to concentrate for the length of time it takes to trim it into shape. Usually I am not short of volunteers to attend to my bush, but for some reason, this year I am having a problem finding anyone willing to get their hands dirty and re-shape my overgrown bush to see it through until next Spring.

A Trimmed Bush


Naturally trimming my bush is a job I want done very well so that it looks nice for anyone I decide to show it off to. To clip a bush requires patience and effort if the end result is to be fashionable, and last year my Brazilian Bush was the envy of all of my friends and Neighbours. Of course as the bush begins to grow back it can become quite bristly, but regular clips can keep this under control with minimum effort, (so long as you are careful not to disturb any wildlife that may be living and nesting within it at the time).

Another important tip is never to try and trim your bush when it's wet. A wet bush can be very hard to trim, as well as being quite dangerous if you are using an electrical set of clippers to tidy it up. I have experienced many weeping bushes, and now realise it is far better to let a man tackle this problem, and they usually enjoy every minute of it and take a pride in ensuring each bush is a beauty to behold. My extra special tip is to try to have a fragrant bush, as men far prefer to trim these than any old neglected bush they have thrust in their faces demanding a haircut.

One thing is for sure, the end result you want to see is a perfectly neat, trimmed bush that you can be proud of and would happily enter in competitions. There are many styles of bush clip you can choose, but my personal favourites are the 'screwed bush' and the 'shaggy pussy bush', (the latter of which has a flowing mane and looks great when wet). The 'screwed bush is harder to maintain unless clipped regularly, but most male friends will be happy to oblige and may even offer to screw your friend's bushes too if they need attending to.

Also, use your imagination and try to find ways to liven up your bush and give it that extra exciting finish such as experimenting with a rabbit for instance. Rabbits really lend themselves to the right kind of bush, and your bush will be the envy of your neighbours if you give it this extra attention.

My best friend has a fantastic pair of balls which are truly breathtaking. They need regular trimming too, but the end results are well worth the effort involved, and I have even helped him on occasion as they are small enough that I find them easy to work on. In return he has helped me to keep my bush under control, and he always does a great job on it. The last time he trimmed my bush my Husband was so impressed that he recommended him to help with a work colleague's Japanese box. It was a bit of a maze, but he found his way through it, and as you can see from the picture he sorted out her bush perfectly. Sadly he has moved away now, so I am left with my bush getting completely out of control, and of course I no longer have access to his balls either.

If you truly love your relationship with your bush, and see getting it trimmed as a form of recreation, then make sure the man you entrust with the serious job of trimming your bush is not going to become too scissor happy. One thing you need to realise is that if he clips it too much you will end up with a naked bush, which although it will make less mess everywhere, can still end up looking like a plucked chicken and will grow back bristly and possibly unattractive. Over-trimming may also cause your bush to grow back thicker than ever, which creates more work the next time it needs attention, plus your male helper may not be able to see where he is going in order to satisfy your demanding requirements.

Remember, a happy bush is one that gets attention frequently, and receives enough moisture to keep it in tip top shape. Don't be embarassed to ask your man to talk to your bush, your bush will thrive off any oral interaction and will no doubt perk up alot after such an intimate encounter.

I hope this hub has encouraged you to get your bush trimmed regularly, and that you have a male friend who is willing and able to help you out with this all important task.

If any males reading this are available to help me sort out my bush I would be very grateful, as this year I seem to be struggling to find volunteers. This could be because my bush caught a nasty disease last year, and anyone who handled it seem to end up itching, or they took the disease home and passed it on to their wife's bushes. I can reassure you that this problem has now been solved and my bush is perfectly healthy again since it was sprayed, (if somewhat overgrown).

Thank you for any help you are willing to give me to tackle my rampant bush.

Dear MistyHorizons I am applying for the job of chief bush trimmer. I am from Australia and we take bush trimming very seriously down under.

The only tool I need for my bush trimming is a "chain saw" is that OK with you?

Hi Ozzie, gosh, a chain saw, that sounds a bit risky to me. Can't you make do with a set of clippers, in which case I might offer you the job? :) :) :)

I think you have found your writing niche. Still laughin'. I think a nice trimmed bush is always nice, one doesn't want to enter a jungle.

Thanks Goldentoad, navigating your way through a jungle is a lot of effort, and a neat bush removes the risk of getting lost :)

Thanks Froggy, my wet bush is awaiting your attention next time you visit the Channel Islands :)

I wouldn't know the difference between a happy bush from a sad bush from a wet bush! A bush is a bush is a bush! LOL unless of course its made into a topiary - a pussy would be nice! :D

You did it again, Cindy. They say if you trim your bush too closely, it will grow back thicker and darker.

Hi Misty I believe Brazilian bushes are more difficult as they end up very sparse after very precise trimming, but I believe the results are worth viewing!

Funny enough I spent this weekend getting my driveway balls in order. There are two rows of 6, one on either side. I also have two next to my upright fountain which periodically need attention but the end result makes it all worthwhile.

great Hub. Hilarious!

Thanks Tatjana, keep on laughing, I am pleased you enjoyed this hub :)

Hi bwpotman, I am flattered that you have read my work each time you have visited this site. A huge compliment, Thank you :)

Hi Sixty, great to see you here, pleased you are giving your balls lots of attention, and hope you are not neglecting your upright fountain in the process. I hear they can get blocked up if not flushed through frequently :)

Hi Sixty, glad your pump is well maintained so no blockages occur :)

Thanks CW, I guess these Bushes are better than THAT Bush!! LOL

Hi Trsmd, Only a man can have the best effect on my bush. Doing it myself just isn't the same :)

Misty, if you get tired of writing you can always take up the official position as a bush photographer, your use of angles and light is amazing.

Photographing bushes, hmmm, now that's an interesting idea Rodney. I wish I could take credit for the pictures, but sadly they were not taken by me :)

hi misty, as a man of many talents i found bush trimming to be a wonderful pass time for me, is so much fun to slowly spread the limbs, tenderly carress the folage, allowing it to slip through your fingers, as you gently massage the swollen mound of leaves that are surounded by the dense inner folage, kissing gently each fold to stimulate the the bush allowing it to relax as you make the first cut, each leaf the is trimed is carefully removed and a gentle kiss is given to the cut area, until at last you have the perfect bush that wants you to continue trimming, carressing, and kissing it folds of leaves so that the sap flows into your mouth, filling you and your bush with excitement of things to cum. have a wonderful day, enjoyed trimming your beautiful bush.

So misty, tell me, did you have tears running down your face when you wrote this? Am glad bush art is coming out into the open. I'd like to see more designer bush art happening instead of the conventionall shapes and sizes. Good to have choice.

mistyhorizon2003 profile image

mistyhorizon2003  says:

No Jewels, no tears, but loads of ideas to spruce up my bush and make it more interesting, how about you?? Is your bush large, small, in need of a trim or losing it's foliage? There are always ways to make any bush more appealing :)

I think I'll stand back and stare for awhile, let the creative juices flow and then see what manifests. I like being spontaneous so it could be anything goes. I do have something tangible to work with so it should be enjoyable. Thanks for the motivation.
