It is very difficult to uproot a stump. The procedure requires a lot of time and effort from the summer resident.

An elderly person may not be able to cope with this task at all.

However, there is one little trick that for some reason few people know about.

It turns out that you can get rid of an old tree stump from your country plot with incredible ease. Table salt will help.

Use as much of this product as possible: the more you “salt” the stump, the faster the desired result will be achieved.

Repeat the procedure after each rain.

Due to such “processing” the stump will quickly turn into dust.

The remainder of the trunk in such a state is removed quite easily: even an elderly summer resident can handle it.

The downside of the salt life hack

There is one important nuance that deprives the above-described trick of its universality.

Unfortunately, salt has a negative effect not only on wood, but also on the soil.

Thus, you can “salt” a stump only if the rest of the trunk is located in a place where you do not plan to grow anything.

Want to remove the remains of the trunk to put a gazebo in the vacated space? Then use salt boldly!
