the county in which i live does not have the financial resources to clean a particular cemetery which is overgrown. however, the county is likely to give permission to local people sometime this next week. i'm prepared to help with the physical labor as well as education. my question is, what is the best way to begin the actual grunt work once we're all assembled at the cemetery? i have not found any information regarding this in books or online. since the vegetation to be removed is mostly waist-high grass and a few shrubs and saplings, it's not going to be a massive job. but since weed-eaters can damage the stones, and mowers are out of the question since the grass is high enough to hide the smaller stones, just how do we proceed? the cemetery in question is mica cemetery, and photos and information can be found at: http://www.interment.net/data/us/wa/spokane/mica1/mica.htm
