Topiary: Two Hands better than one? Trimming buxus Balls  

Gosh how fantastic - you are ambidextrous .

Beautiful topiary balls! Great job! Wow.

Perfection Chip! It's so relaxing watching you do all the work! You make it look so easy, I know it isn't! You and Gipsie boy make a great team. Everything is beginning to look fabulous. Thank you for sharing.......Enjoy your week. ♥

🌿 ~Absolutely gorgeous! I hold my breathe thinking ....they look so fluffy & beautiful... then you shear them into impressive little balls worthy of royalty! 🤣 ~Cheers!👍🌺

Great job chip, pleased I could be of a little help 🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳😀👍🐈‍⬛

I used IKEA scissors to clip my 21 box shapes, cheap, sharp, usually brightly coloured, easyish to find when lost in the garden, not a disaster if not found. Good clean cut. For the 2 big ones I used lightweight shears. I did the hot cross bun method to get the shape reasonably symmetrical . You obviously have a really good eye for the shaping! I used a dog towel or two shoved around the base to catch most of the clippings. Just to try to minimise the bending🙁 Lovely video❤ so appreciate your work, thanks for sharing❤

I now use your method of boldly pruning the top first rather than timidly clipping at the side - so much better. I knew the clippers would be better; you always make it look easy using them. I try to channel you when I wade into my box balls

Hello friend, today’s chapter is very instructive, at least for me ❤ thank you very much❤ specifically I want to use the appropriate tools!!!!!

Looks great but the first sounds unacceptable for your comfort. Thanks! Twins survived.

Indeed perfection, it reminds me of my father's 100 ft x 4ft privit hedge with clipper #2...he dreaded it, but was always so proud as I was as a kid on my imaginary jumper easily scaling it's height, my trusty steed never failed me...the people that bought my father's home pulled it all out and put up a fence, they never had the pleasure of talking to the neighbor over the hedge...however, the older he got he finally purchased an electric trimmer and never regretted...awesome job...!

PERFECTION 👌 💯💚

Looks great😊

Beautiful. Always inspiring watching you in the garden. Thanks so much for sharing ❤

Hi Chip, Tanner trading sell dagging shears if you prefer sheep shears.

Looks beautiful! ❤

Beautiful

Chip go see Hattori Hanzo about Japanese steel, in the mean time try the Okatsune shears. Then you can work up lol.

So clever!

Trimmed to perfection

Did I see you switch from right hand to left hand and still do a perfect job?!

My boxwood keep getting leggy and have never had a compact form to them. Boxwoods grow here, they are in all of the old gardens and are perfectly compact and shaped beautifully. Wonder what I am doing wrong? 🤔

Your work is very inspiring. I have planted 9 topiary balls a month ago, they are already round shaped but very small. I need to buy a shear/clipper and not sure which one to buy even after watching the video. It seems your old style one could be the way forward. What would you advise to buy please. Appreciate your help.Thank you

HI Chip, love your videos! Was wondering the stone water basin has some beautiful moss all over it, did you place some special moss on it or was it just developed naturally over time?
