The norm is that you will have no damage. My most recent post about honeyfungus is about the RHS survey investigating this and this post links back to my original article on this theme http://www.nodiggardener.co.uk/2017/09/Roger Brook - No Dig Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16210160273591839142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2571100417242238211.post-32563798055649293922018-10-13T16:00:34.781+01:002018-10-13T16:00:34.781+01:00I have several trees I need to get rid of and I...I have several trees I need to get rid of and I'd love to be able to leave the stumps...
