Is this a hobby? How long been doing it?

It is my hobby. I have been doing it quite a while. I started off doing my own lawn, then a friend’s lawn. Now I do 8 lawns! I use a lawn mower, strimmer, brush-cutter, leaf blower.

What’s been your inspiration?

I like using the equipment. Then when the Council stopped cutting the grass on our lane, I started doing that too.

Yes I would

What do you hope to get out of Youth Market?
