Ask around and see if any one would like to have them free. That way you will not have to deal with the problem. If not chop chop.. dig dig..Gone
Reply:First try to dig them out. If it is a real problem, tie them to an old truck and pull them out. If that doesnt work find someone with a small bobcat and have them removed professionally.
Reply:I learned this trick from an old gardener and it has saved me alot of digging time. You will need a truck, length of chain and a wheel. Like the wheel of a car without the tire on it. The bigger the wheel the better. Hook the chain to the very base of the plant, push the wheel as close to the plant as possible. The wheel is sitting upright not on it's side. Take the chain from the base of the plant and put it over the wheel into the groove where the tire would go. Hook the chain to a truck, tractor or car and pull slowly. The wheel acts as a pulley and pulls the plant up out of the ground instead of trying to pull against the ground. Good luck and you will be amazed how easy the shrubs come up.
