Gardeners know that it is better to get rid of stumps on the site.

After all, pests can hide in them, and they also simply take up a lot of space and provoke the appearance of shoots.

At the same time, everyone knows that it is best to remove plant remains mechanically, but the process is quite complicated.

Therefore, experienced summer residents have found out which method helps to get rid of a stump more easily and simply in a few months and without much effort.

To do this, you need to prepare saltpeter, film and a drill with attachments.

In the remainder of the tree, you should drill several holes. It is better to make many deep holes. You need to fill them with ammonium nitrate.

This chemical helps soil bacteria to develop, which "eat" the tree. This happens when oxygen and nitrogen combine.

The stump should be covered with film on top to speed up the process. In just a few months, the wood will turn into dust, and the remains can be easily removed.
