I'm sure by now you've seen Friday's root pulling adventure. Saturday morning brought lots more root pulling. We ended up having to hire a man with an even bigger tractor to come and pull up the roots. Wow! As you can tell it was a major feat.
Here is part of the stump from one of the trees. This isn't even all of it by any means.
We dug until we came very near the power line that feeds our house. We reached the tape that was just by it. The roots had grown all around the line. I'm glad those stumps are gone! We ended up dumping 5 trailer loads of roots and dirt.
We got the worst of the roots out and then just started covering over the holes and other roots. The roots that are sticking out of the dirt are just going to be clipped off at ground level. Tomorrow the ground will receive some pre-emergent to kill any weeds or grass that might want to continue to grow. The next step will be plastic and then the drippers and plants and finally the rock.
