[Shop-talk] Trying to get tree stumps to rot

[Arvid Jedlicka]

Or check out how much it will cost to have a "stump grinder" do the job. My initial reaction to "$125 per hour/ time off the trailer 
to time on the trailer" was "a lot". However his 90hp diesel self propelled grinder did more in 45 minutes than I would care to do 
in a day with a rental. Not as much fun to watch as it might have been to operate, but still a pretty good deal.

On the other hand, you do have 5 years to wait so maybe watching stumps rot might be the better long term solution.
