Two or three times a year , I put the jardinero on top of the Jeepeta and drive down the hedgerow.
He flails away up there with the machete ( the long one not the shorter thicker one).
The result is the straighest cut you have ever seen - perfection.
I am constantly amazed at their skills.
The hedge is cut in a straight, flat line, Disregarding the slopes and bumps in the terrain.
If you get a chance , watch any Dominican use a hammer.
They can use a full swing, at full arm's length and hit the nail on the head every time.
I have seen a 4" nail go in with 4 hits.
Now, if ever let go of that hammer......
