replacing a shade tree
The previous owner of my house in Arkansas cut down a shade tree in the west-facing front yard. The stump is gone, but there is a circle of wood chips that are now compacted. I need some shade there (the summer afternoons can be brutal) and I was going to place a young Chinese tulip poplar to get shade again, but the ground is digable in some areas, but seems to be full of roots in others. I'm worried that I can't manually clear an area large enough for the new tree. Any suggestions?
