I am personally waiting for Andy to bring the backhoe home to dig mine out! I can't afford to break anymore shovels!

There's another post on it in the plant/flower forum.

thanks bill, i seen that before i posted. it said to dig it up then chop it up. its been the digging up part thats driving me crazy!!! but im happy to say i made a brake through this morning! [grin] i already dug around the hole thing & was tring to pick away at the roots with a small claw. till i got an idea & a bigger claw! i clawed away the dirt underneath some, then choped away!clawed, choped. clawed,choped! it worked!! i got half my grass out this morning! hay if i cant take it out the ground, id fake it!
