    Hi

    I wonder if anyone could help?

    When we came here our garden was full of trees and had no light.

    I have now removed most of the trees and put a lawn down,the only trouble is i need a fast way to remove the remaining stumps.

    I was thinking about a product called "Root Out" but just wondered if there was a faster way to get rid of them?

    Without a lot of digging that is,as im disabled.

    Chemicals kill not remove them. Tractors or jcbs do the digging. Good luck.

    Thanks for your help.

    And thanks whis4ey for pointing me in the right direction(i didnt look first).

    Problem will be solved at the weekend as a friend is coming over with a mini digger:thumb:as this is the fastest way in the end.

    If its a track-laying digger watch out for damage to the lawn - when they turn they tear up the grass, so "turning" needs to be done very carefully, and you need to drive in straight lines as much as possible

    Job done:thumb:

    You were right about the grass Kristen it did tear it up a bit, my mate did the driving/operating so damage was at a minimum.

    Just got to fill in the holes now and sort out the grass, looks better already without the stumps.
