That was my experience this morning just with a bit of weeding! I discovered that the handle of one weed claw was broken, so I had to get another, then gently dissuade ~50 snails from hanging out on the fence, and then I could only do about 15 minutes of weeding before my back noped out and I had to pack up again.
I hope your elm does well. We have an awful problem with elm leaf beetles here, but since 'here' is in Australia, I doubt ours will reach you.
