How quickly is miracle grow absorbed. Due to neglect, my containered cherry tomatoes were greatly in need of water and fertilizer. I gave them the proper dosage, and 12 hours later we had a heavy rain come through.
A stump grinder uses a spinning blade fitted with carbide tipped teeth that scrape away at the stump. Bear in mind that a stump grinder can only work to a limited depth, normally up to 10-12 inches. If you feel up to it, stump grinders can be hired by the day at most local hire shops. If you decide to use a contractor to do the work for you, expect to pay a minimum of around Â£65 plus VAT for the smallest of stumps.
In truth we need to be pretty close here, but setting the form boards later is when we must be exact. My weapon of choice for the dig is an aging Takeuchi TB68 excavator. The machine weighs in just over 15K lbs, and has a maximum digging depth of about 14 feet. We wonât need to dig more than about a foot here, since we are going to add 4â³ of compacted gravel under the slab, and will form up with 8â³ high boards around the footer perimeter, so this should move along fairly quickly.
