has a good deal on tractor rentals....you can get a mini- swing 360 degrees excavator... for like $230 -270 a day....(its a wicked cool tool...and FUN!) and then you can kick some major root butt.
its what i'll eventually do here....but first i'll try rototilling around em and yankin -em out with my 40' super chain... and cut roots with my double bladed axe. allot of work yes... but worth it it in the end. i'm still bustin sod
which is why the name "Sod Buster" is still under my AV.

and yes FWW great idea for the bug control now with no see-ums, blackflies mosquitos, and deer flies out in full force....i have to burn periodically.
