I just ripped out 8 gigantic juniper bushes that were eating up my already smallish back yard.
Are there any big, known issues with planting sod after juniper? Those bushes dropped a TON of debris over about 10 years and I'm wondering if that will somehow screw up the soil.
That said, I do plan on removing all the rock and debris that's there now, down to bare dirt. Then I may have to backfill with a bit of soil to grade. So maybe it won't be that big a deal??
[SIDE Q: Now I have a fair amount of landscaping stone mixed with ~10 years worth of juniper deadfall. I'd just distribute the stones around my house but I don't want the juniper junk and twigs in it. Any cool way to separate the two?]
