Billy Joe writes, "When it came to stump removal, prior to the trackhoe, the backhoe and the bulldozer, there was the grubbing hoe! Our subsistence farming forefathers would cut and burn trees they could not use to clear land for farming purposes. These areas were called 'new grounds'. The stumps that were too large to be grubbed would often be left to rot. However, some bigger stumps could be in bad places to leave and I remember my Campbell, Great-great uncles buying dynamite to blow stumps to smithereens. The smaller sapling stumps would be dug out with grubbing hoes to prevent regrowth.
There is a technique for efficient and effective use of a grubbing hoe acquired through much direction and practice. I would be happy to tutor a couple of young folk in the proper technique right here at my house at no charge! Students can contact me through Columbia Magazine!"
