If I cut the trunk (which is only a couple of inches

Grinding the stump flat to the ground.


It's a TWO inch caliper maple tree... can hardly call that a stump,
how do you grind a two inch stump, with a Dremel... shouldn't take
more than 10 minutes with a garden spade for a 90 pound weakling to
dig it out. *BIG*Kev.. you gotta be kidding.

This is two inches: |..............2".............|

I got some zuchinni in my garden with bigger stumps! G
