Beginner Gardening: big tree down, 1 by JulieQ

I lost a big tree in my woods from a recent storm. It is REALLY big. You can see my tape measure showing the height of the roots at over six feet. It is twelve feet wide. I have no idea how to cut it up. I think I can shake off some of the dirt to help re-fill the huge crater that was left. And I can probably throw some of the smaller root pieces back in the hole. Any suggestions for this monster?
