Post #4014024

I have a raised bed on the side of my house. Unfortunately the previous owners of said bed did not take care of it. As a result, there were five small trees that were rooted in the bed. I would say they were maybe four or five years into growth. I have chopped them down about a year ago when I cleaned out the bed. Well, I didn't get around to planting in the bed or amending the soil this year. So they sprouted sucker branches off the old stumps and grew bushes. I recently decided to tackle the bed and cut off all the sucker branches and commenced to try and dig the stumps out. Well, after an hour on the first one and it still isn't out, I think I may need an alternative. What suggestions does anyone possibly have?? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
