When getting rid of stumps, you have only two reasons. The first is to completely plow the land for a garden.

The second is that they simply interfere with the construction process.

If there is no reason to remove them, such stumps can become a kind of decorative element.

But if you decide to get rid of this “decoration”, there are several ways that will help solve this problem in a relatively short period of time.

First, let's look at long-term methods. You need to cover the stump with plastic or black film - it will overheat, get sick and die.

You can also coat the stump with burning oil to help it burn faster. You can also cut mulch from leaves and branches to speed up the decomposition process.

If you want to speed up the process, take a chemical penetrant, pour it on the top of the stump and wait until the chemical is absorbed into the root system and gives results.

The second method may take several weeks or days. It all depends on the size of the stump.
