One of the biggest chores gardeners can face is trimming the hedges - and the mess that comes with it.After completing the tiring task, those with green fingers are left with a heft pile of twigs, branches and leaves.

These are either stuffed into the bin, taking up a wide amount of space or, depending on size, they may have to haul it away to be disposed of properly.Luckily, one garden expert has shared a nifty trick that can help you reduce your trimmings to a quarter of their size.

Based in Australia, TikTok account Nathans Lawns and Gardens has amassed over two million followers thanks to its wide array of videos full of tips for tending to your outdoor space.One such clip that has nearly four million views shares what Nathan says is "one of the greatest gardening hacks you're ever gonna see." It turns out that hedge piles can be quickly reduced into easy-to-handle mulch with the lawnmower, with Nathan offering a full demonstration on how to do so.Standing in front of a massive pile of hedge trimmings, his voice over began: "Yes some people know this but there are a lot that don't.

I had to trim some hedges and it would've needed about two big green bins to fill. "Most houses here in Australia only get allocated one so I would've had a bit of a problem."He then takes his lawnmower and begins working it over the pile, which gets trimmed down rather quickly. "All I'm doing is setting my lawnmower on the highest setting and I'm just going back and forth," he said."In real time this took me just under six minutes to do.
