Should I do that if I want grass to grow over the bed? We just had a new Tractor Supply open down the road that I haven't visited yet.....

As long as you cover the face of the stump with liquid tordon and don't spray the ground grass will grow. https://images.app.goo.gl/or68RAJtGjcyEVEPA
This is what I put on hedge tree and thorny locust tree stumps after I cut them down. I don't believe tordon really affects grasses. It's a brush killer. We used to have tordon pellets that you would throw out on the ground to kill junk trees, only problem is if there was a good tree bearby the roots would soak up the poison as well and it would kill them. With the liquid It's just applied to the stump and dosen't absorb into the ground.

Speaking of spring. Time to get out into the yard and do stuff and all that. I got some of these cocksuckers that I'm getting rid of, but the trunks (or whatever you call them) are kinda stubborn.

I could try and yank them out with a chain tied up to the Sequoia tow hitch, but I'm not sure the ol girl has it in her. Any other suggestions? Dig it down a bit and take a chainsaw to them? Some other tool that isn't a stump grinder....cause no need for a stump grinder...? Call the ghostbusters?

****edit**** this is not my yard. just a pic I found on the internet to show the bushes. It's freaking after midnight here, so I didn't go out and take a pic lol

I had 2 rows of ridiculously overgrown hedges near my raised front porch. The porch was getting a rebuild, but the contractor needed the bushes gone to do a complete job. I knew it would be a much bigger job than it looked like and wasn’t looking forward to it.

I ended up finding a landscaper that said he could remove them, roots and all, but to do it cheap, he didn’t want to bring in his stump grinder. Lucky for me, he didn’t look too closely at the size of the roots. After his crew almost obliterated an old truck by getting a running start with a tow strap, he sent someone back to the shop to get the stump grinder. No upcharge, but I could tell he was sure thinking about it.

Gotta respect a man of his word. That's the kinda guy you recommend to friends and neighbors.

Centipede thrives here, but it turns brown pretty early in the fall and it's just now starting to green back up.
