i thought we were going to get a dumpster t o fill up and be hauled away.

as far as the azaleas down the driveway, last year we got a steal on them,
tried to dig holes to plant them and decided on pots. Other than a direct
nuclear attack, with all the cedar roots and the plastic under the dirt and
the fact the soil is like cement, we were unable to dig a hole even an
inch deep. I can add more dirt to the pots and fertilize or plant them somewhere
else, but that is the reason for the abuse. Maybe a pick ax, but that is
beyond my bodies skill level.
