The funny thing was that years after it had been hacked to bits and the stump ground down, we started getting these invincible volunteers growing up in the <i>back</i> yard. I tried poisoning them, cutting out the roots ... nothing worked. Finally we hired landscapers to do the dirty work, and they seem to have succeeded ... but strangely, they put gravel over the grave site.<br /><br />Me, I'm waiting for a <i>Poltergeist</i> moment.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18015219452269186971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5810033429461791744.post-79410038858255273832009-12-04T12:13:43.425-05:002009-12-04T12:13:43.425-05:00Very neat for you!

Sometimes woodchips are not a very pleasant material.<br /><br />I'm guessing the fresh wood is composting some which would make it warm to sleep on.puppynerdhttp://puppynerd.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5810033429461791744.post-35888281643218084012009-12-04T10:51:25.888-05:002009-12-04T10:51:25.888-05:00Can't stand Asplundh.

Glad you were able to get something good out of them.<br /><br />Our next-door neighbor had an ash tree taken down because it was dying, and had to go through a lot of red tape because of what they suspected it was from. The man who owns the arborist company we used took one look at it and said "Nope, it's dying because of that massive wall that was just built right next to it." Our maple trees are also dying because of the bulldozers that ran over their roots too many times per day for a few months. Our one ash tree and our elms have neither bugs nor Dutch Elm disease...just a case of Old Age.<br /><br />I can only imagine that when they all go, we will try to mulch them as well. I've always wondered how people can waste fresh woodchips and then go out later and buy the bagged stuff.Viateciohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08523551407472141202noreply@blogger.com
