Getting rid of yew stumps - advice please
The message
from "Judy Donovan" contains these words: We have just cut down a yew hedge and are left with a long row of stumps and roots - these are very sturdy so will take a bit of removing. Does anyone know anyway to make this easier? I was wondering about applying something to the stumps to try and kill them before trying to dig them up - would that make it easier? they're very secure in the ground at the moment and it will take some doing I think. Drill a hole into them and pour in battery acid. Careful! The stuff isn't neutralised by hydrocarbons, carbohydrates etc, it just carries on removing the elements of water, leaving carbon eventually. However, if you dig them out and don't damage them too much in doing so, woodcarvers, turners, stickmakers &c would give their eye teeth for them. What have you done with the above-ground wood? -- Rusty http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/hi-fi/tqt.htm horrid·squeak snailything zetnet·co·uk excange d.p. with p to reply. |
