It is better to get rid of stumps on the site if you do not want to deal with undergrowth and other problems later.
In addition, tree remains take up space that could be put to good use.
Usually, stumps are removed by uprooting, but there are other techniques.
For example, you can cover the trunk with black film so that it overheats and the roots die. Some people prefer to burn the remains.
Another long-term method is to cover the stump with leaves and mulch to improve its decomposition process.
Faster methods involve the use of chemicals.
Experienced gardeners prefer safe methods so as not to accidentally harm other plants and pets.
The safe method assumes that the decomposed stump will serve as an excellent fertilizer for the remaining plantings.
To do this, you need to make several holes in the plant using a drill. Each one needs to be filled with a mixture of soap and hot water (1 to 1). Then the stump needs to be covered with plastic film to hold the mixture in place. After a few months, the material will begin to decompose.
