You might ask how on earth we got those stumps out? I saw a video showing how to take out brush and small trees with a post-hole digger - which is basically a heavy metal bar with a blade on the end. We tried it and we can take out a tree in a fairly short amount of time. Well, for smaller trees. We took down one with a diameter of 9" today and that was a real workout. When we took out a tree the size shown in the video below we didn't dig around it at all, but we don't have rocks to deal with either.
I really love trees, but my practical side says that we really can't park on the road year-round, so we are taking out trees to make a driveway to our new homestead. We don't want stumps in the middle of the road so we have taken these trees out roots and all. You might ask how on earth we got those stumps out?
