Ongaonga
Onga-onga or stinging nettle is an ever present threat in many parts of New Zealand. A light brush with the nettle on your leg or arm, can leave you with a tingling sensation that persists for 24 hours.
Ongaonga has been linked to unexplained deaths of people walking through a dense patch and being overcome. With this mind, I decided to have a go cutting back a particularly annoying patch on our main track to the paddock we call, Waterses.
The Ongaonga bushes were above and below the track so I had to form a strategy so that I would safe. I found a large set of old tree branch loppers (giant secateurs) in the shed and then opted to take a piece of cloth, that used to cover our cool display cabinet in my old café.
