This may be a pretty crazy question: Tomorrow will probably be the last day of construction. Today the contractor dug up a huge old sweet gum stump that has been in my front yard. The tree had four large trunks, and the root ball is about 7 feet in diameter--with a lot of red clay stuck to it. It's going to be too big to load on a truck, and I'm trying to decide what to do with it. Is there any reason not to just get them to roll it into the pond, and let it sit there until it finally decays? The pond is about 8 feet deep.

If I don't put it there tomorrow while the equipment is here, it will probably sit in my front yard for the rest of my life. \:\)
