Buried wood decay rate?
My daughter and son-in-law bought a house in the mountains outside Blue Ridge, Virginia, a few years back. When the land was cleared for the house and yard a bulldozer was used to push all the stumps and overburden to the bottom of the yard and left it in a pile. It looks like a pile of dirt covered by vegetation but I am sure it is filled with roots and stumps. The pile has been there for about 7 years and I'd like to get rid of it. The heaviest equipment I will have available is a large Skidloader/Bobcat. I'm hoping the stumps and roots will have decayed sufficiently that I will be able to break them up and move them with the dirt in the skidloader's bucket. If I can do this there is a nearby wash that I'd like to fill. What are the chances that the wood will be sufficiently decayed to break it up and move it with the dirt? BTW: I expect most of the stumps to be hardwood.
