How can I get rid of Laurel roots
Sorry if this question has been asked before but I could find no trace of
it. Having cut down some well established laurel trees/bushes, we are left with a maze of roots that we would also like to get rid of. Is there an easy alternative method to digging them out? Many Thanks |

Many Thanks A long time ago, when I wanted to get rid of a privet hedge, I tied the stumps to the tow bar on the car and used brute force and ignorance to haul them out! Mind you they were easily accessible in our front garden - could be difficult in a back garden with no easy access. -- M C C |

20 or so years ago, I did the same thing! Sadly, as you suspected, these
roots are in the rear garden M C C wrote in message ...

If you still have stumps left you could probably hire a kind of winch thing
from Hire shops or even hire a stump grinder If the soil is light though i would suggest that once you start to dig them out they will get easier "Mighty Magpie" mighty.magpie@home wrote in message ...
