Not a problem initially. Just planted an Easter lily today, courtesy
of our preaching pastor's wife. We've a small area where a tree was
taken down some years ago that we're working on breaking down the stump remains by planting lilies and other flowers there.

Curious -- how does that help break down the stump? Or is it just a
matter of planting something nice while it decomposes naturally?

Hi Dale,

Not a problem initially. Just planted an Easter lily today, courtesy
of our preaching pastor's wife. We've a small area where a tree was
taken down some years ago that we're working on breaking down the stump remains by planting lilies and other flowers there.

Curious -- how does that help break down the stump? Or is it just a matter of planting something nice while it decomposes naturally?

I think it's the planting of smomething nice, hoping the roots will help
break down the tree roots. (G) We had tried seeding the stump area with mushroom spoores but nothing happened there. Waited a few years, then in
2020, Steve did a lot of outdoor work the first couple of months of lock
down for Covid. He turned that area into a small garden spot, improved a
couple of other small flower garden spots and added mulch to all the
flower beds. Last year we had lilies that grew over 6' tall in the one
bed, looks like they'll do the same this year.

Have you looked into what it might cost to have someone grind the stump
down? Or whether or not Steve might rent the equipment and do it
himself?

Steve did rent a stump grinder a couple of years ago for some of the
stumps. It took a lot out of him physically so I don't think he wants to
do it again. This stump has worn down over the years; I think it's
mostly gone but for the root system. Probably not worth the cost to have someone else do it at this point.

IOW, good for a church picnic but the folks usually expect broccoli
salad from me. (G)

AFAIK, no relation to me, but there could be, somewhere along the line.
