A Seed Saver's Garden

cut them off at table height and put a top on them for tea times or potting stands (or most likley place to put things down that i'll rarely sit on or use otherwise). eventually they'll rot. i'm mostly ok with also just cutting them as close to the ground as possible and then putting some dirt over them and then putting a shallow rooted ground cover on it. fungi will eventually will take care of it and give you perhaps some unusual mushroom families coming up in fairy rings or lines following the decaying roots.

LOTS of good ideas!

I wish I could leave them as is, but given that they are in my front yard and each cluster has probably 8 or 9 trees in it, they're too unsightly (and big) to remain. And because I've longed to eliminate those trees for so many years, it's almost celebratory that I can convert all that wasted space taken up by the trees into lawnscape. I'd like to combine the task of removing the stumps & raised stump pads with re-leveling, tilling, then reseeding the entire front lawn. I've kept the dandelions out, but without watering and fertilizing the grass gets infiltrated with crud plants. It's a dream to have that expanse of pristine, grass-only verdant lawn.

C'mon, you know you really just want to plant more beans there.
