I did start tackling the tree yesterday, I cut off the limbs and got all the cacti cleared out from underneath. I started digging around the base. The fire is a GREAT idea, didn't even think of that! Got to be careful, as it is so dry here, but it can be containable.
What is a local rainbow family? And where are you located?
And who is this spaminator account? That is starting to tick me off!
I see. I tend to be a lone wolf when it comes to associating with others, although it can be a disadvantage, I also find organizations get . . . tricky. So you are not too far from me then! Maybe a 20 hour drive. So far, I have been working on dislodging the tree by cutting the big roots with a sawsall, and then we tried yanking it out with our big truck, didn't budge. So I will keep dislodging roots, moving material, and then I may try the fire thing. Work in progress!
Interesting. I will take some time and look up diy mortar, although I will probably just buy it.
