What many summer residents forget to do after cutting down a tree: remember once and for all
If it was decided to remove an old or diseased tree from the area, then it is important to remember that it is not enough to simply cut it down.
It is necessary to approach the task responsibly so as not to encounter other problems in the future.
The thing is that you can’t leave the stump, otherwise you’ll soon have to fight the undergrowth.
But it is not always possible to remove the stump immediately. In this case, it is better to saw the tree closer to the ground. Then, using a screwdriver, you need to make several vertical holes in it.
Ammonium nitrate should be poured into the prepared holes. It is best to do this through a watering can with a narrow spout.
Then the stump should be covered with polyethylene film, but for reliability, such a “covering” should be weighed down with stones.
As a result, in a couple of years there will be nothing left of the stump, and most importantly, there will be no annoying growth.
But it is worth adding that periodically it is only necessary to add saltpeter, which will destroy the stump.
