Digging up the conifer
Today I decided to tackle the bigger of the two conifers and dig it up completely. I dug a large circular hole around the conifer and used long-handled loppers to cut off its roots as I went along. It was quite hard work because of the quantity of soil I had to shift, but it wasn’t very daunting. Now I just have the other conifer to dig up, which I will do another day. I want to keep the tree stumps but saw them up into logs and leave them somewhere as a refuge for wildlife.
