Boom!
And the apple stump that kept suckering back to life?
He had to grind two feet down to get everything but he still managed to leave every single tulip in this area untouched.
That's no small feat considering he had to maneuver this huge piece of machinery through my narrow side yard.
He left me this chunk o' stump that I think is just begging to be planted up with ferns, yes?
And now I have two blank slates for planting!
This area lies in shade and it's right next to the hose, so I'm down with planting things that want moister soil. I know I want an abutilon, maybe 'Hot Lava'? What's your favorite shade plant? Who wants to go shopping?
I love stump planters!
ReplyDeleteYES to plant shopping! Stump grinding seems like magic, for sure...good to know they can maneuver around existing plants...perhaps I was wrong to be scared of it.
ReplyDeleteIs there any way you'd want to go shopping/help me with plant placement? There would be plants in it for you. :)
ReplyDeleteOf course, I'd love to! Just name the time & place.
ReplyDeleteI am impressed by a guy who has the creativity to name his business Chip Away and the pride to post portfolios of his work: full color photos of uprooted stumps. And he has the focus to only offer one service, but do it very well. I wish we had a stump guy with such laser focus and pride of product here!
ReplyDeleteNew planting beds and a nurse log! You're set for a bang-up season.
ReplyDeleteWould you ever consider doing a workshop on container planting? I bet you would design something awesome for a log planter. I loved the tuna can creations you made for our first plant exchange so much.
ReplyDeleteF-a-n-t-a-s-t-i-c ! I was looking for similar projects last week, and now i see this post. I normally use breadboard to do this type of work, with one of these, job will be more easy. I was thinking, and searching others projects to do my own PCB. So, let me try my luck, maybe i can win.Stump Grinding Birmingham AL
