English | 日本語   The second round of stump and root removal work Hello everyone. Today was the second round of stump and root removal work. Continuing from last time, we had a little rain in the meantime, so I was worried that water might have pooled beneath the trunk, but thankfully everything looked fine. Now, it was time to continue the work. Last time, I mentioned that the roots were gripping rocks underground, and I managed to capture a good photo of it below. This one was still one of the smaller rocks. Roots gripping a rock underground After finally removing that section, I continued working on the other roots.

These were roots spreading horizontally near the surface, both large and small, but just like the branches above ground, there were also roots extending diagonally downward and straight down into the earth.

Honestly, this may be the most pathetic project I have ever completed. You might not want to zoom in too closely. I went to a nearby home improvement store and bought lumber, nails, and other supplies, but right away I realized the nails were too long and did not match the wood at all. On top of that, I bought a full box of 100 nails. The motivation was there, but clearly the planning was not. The completed front view of the compost shed Also, why is the bottom part left open? In my mind, it was supposed to be for ventilation, but according to a friend of mine, it looks more like “a public restroom for deer.” Hmm… now that he mentions it, it really does seem like the perfect setup for deer to stop by and do their business. I truly have no talent for DIY projects. The nail-hammering process All I can do is laugh a...
