| Thanks for mentioning to trade plants for labor. I was just thinking about how to garden when I hit the age of 80. I am 69 and lifting those large hostas for transplanting elsewhere, plus clearing out big bags of eunonymus and pachysandria for hours got to me today. Since everything in the yard gets bigger with time, plants have to be moved out, and trading labor for plants is a great idea. I would probably use the local Pennysaver, which costs nothing when you give things away. The people would not get the plants in pots, but have to dig them out, put them into their own bags, help to move others around, fill up the holes with topsoil I would supply and make things neat, and apply my mulch. This is certainly great comparing what landscapers would charge. In case people would quit, you can post again in the Pennysaver, this way you would do the work in steps. Thanks!
