Tree stump removal is a labor-intensive and expensive process that can damage the soil and the environment.

But there are other ways to get rid of stumps without uprooting them.

Here are a few of them:

Burning

This method is suitable for dry and small stumps. You need to drill several holes in the stump and fill them with gasoline or kerosene.

Wait a few hours for the liquid to soak in, then set the stump on fire. The fire should completely burn the stump and its roots. But you need to be careful and follow fire safety precautions.

Decomposition

This method is suitable for wet and large stumps. It is necessary to treat the stump with special preparations that accelerate the decomposition of wood. Such preparations can be bought in garden stores or made independently from yeast, sugar and water.

After treatment, the stump should be covered with a bag or film to create a greenhouse effect. After a few months or years, the stump will become soft and can be easily removed with a shovel or an axe.

Disguise

This method is suitable for those who do not want to spend time and money on removing stumps.

You can turn a stump into an element of landscape design, decorating it with flowers, plants, stones or figurines. You can also make a table, bench or bird feeder out of a stump. The main thing is imagination and creativity.
