Thinking of pulverizing some pesky stumps! Maybe it's tripping up the mower, tripping up the kiddos, wrecking the grass, or is just an unsightly thing on your front lawn. Here we have a brief read on the art, science, and bare knuckle smashing of tree stumps.

Man, we had some serious winds this week. I think, in Lasalle, the winds were gusting to over 90km/hr and I can imagine what it would have been a long Lake St. Clair. Even without tree foliage acting like big green sails to bring a tree over, there was still significant property and tree damage around here, and while it wasn't as catastrophic as it could have been (think full leaf-out, but wet Spring ground) there was definitely local damage.
