If there are no stumps on your garden plot, it does not mean that they will not appear in the future. Uprooting them is the last thing to do, and not everyone can do it.

There are several proven folk methods for removing stumps quickly and without expense.

Sooner or later the problem will make itself known. The diseased or old tree will have to be cut down so that another one can be planted in its place in the future.

And you can get rid of a stump like this.

The first way

Drill deep and wide holes. They should be large enough to accommodate a large amount of sodium (or potassium) nitrate.

Next, we cover the cut with holes and saltpeter filled into them with polyethylene film.

As a result, new shoots will stop appearing, and in the new season the remains of the stump can be burned.

But if you are dealing with peat soil, then this method is considered fire hazardous.

The second way

Use ammonium nitrate or urea in the same order.

This method takes a little more time, but you won't have to set fire to the stumps.

Within a few years, a chemical reaction will leave no trace of the plant remains.
