Here's my other yarden, well it's actually my in-laws. My FIL enjoys doing what he can as far as the lighter jobs. He can trim his Forsythia and quince, but the yews and rhodo are too much. He does some of the trimming with his electric string trimmer and blows the leaves. Holly helps with most of the planting.

Teri. I'd see if you can open a cleanout in the basement and use a shopvac te pull the crystal back through the drain as you snake it loose. That stuff may cause problems with your septic system. You may even want to contact the manufacture to see if anything would speed up the breakdown, possible something like vinegar or dilute muratic acid.
