I got a few more rows tilled this morning in the area that I'm opening. In part of that area is a tree stump that I've been working on reducing since I moved back onto the property. The tiller balked a little going through that area, but I think it's safe to say that the tree stump delenda est.

Lots of rich soil now in that area.

Blow up the stump with black powder. Funny story about my husband who did that:

For a year, we lived in a community outside St. Louis, MO. Husband was sent there to “fix” problems the insurance company had with it's medical insurance policies.

So, we were living with northern people. There was a stump my husband wanted out of our back yard and in this community there were no fences between the houses - it was all open area. He had worked on this stump and this day he put black powder into the stump and set it off. There was a loud explosion.

It was July 4th and people around us thought the blast was a July 4th celebration. Down the hill came a bunch of children with flags headed to the explosion site. It was hilariously funny.

My husband was a former Marine and he liked to blow up stuff. He was an expert marksman - if he aimed at something, it was dead after that one shot.
