Wonder if that would also work with grains? Thinking they are usually ground-up and much smaller... so would, by looking at your pics, just squeeze out of the press and end up back in the mash... Your thoughts?

Curious as quite a few are being removed from town at the moment.
I used a machete to cut the leaves off, gloves and long sleeves are the go for this, then stabbed into the root ball underneath from all sides and kicked it over....would have been easier to tow it out with the ute :handgestures-thumbupleft:

The bit around the root ball is very woody and is not needed as well.
I'd love for someone else to give this a go with an UDS or a large bbq roasting setup and see if they could have more success than me :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Well, if you're keen, come for a drive up north (best time of year to do it - lovely and cool) while I ask the owners of the many places that have the agave plants out front if they'd like them removed ... then you can try all sorts of ways! Might even give you a hand! :clap:
