do you just like to work to hard ...

ignore them ...

you will have a magnificent mushroom show for years.. while the roots rot ... ignore them ...

lets see what happens next year ... i dont think there is a need to be proactive.. but for the new lack of shade ...

if you have space.. keep those wood chips.. and the good firewood ... the best woodchips are when the tree has no leaves.. its all wood ....

if you can get the stump cut flat.. it will be a great platform for some garden art ..

insure they apply stump killer to the cambian layer of the stump ...

LOL Ken, "do you just like to work to hard ... ", my brother tells me I love to create work for myself!

Not worried about the lack of shade. This area of the garden could use some sun. I think the house and the other trees will block out the afternoon sun. If not, I have the irrigation system I won that will keep the hostas from burning.

Thanks for the heads up on the mushrooms. I probably would have been freaked out by them.

===>>> wonder why that popped into my head.. lol ... they feed on rotting wood ... so they will not be stealing anything from the soil ...
