Manual uprooting is not an easy gardening job.

To cope, you need to be a fairly strong and resilient person.

After all, you need to dig under the tree, cut off the roots, and then start pulling out the stump using certain tools.

It is very difficult for women and elderly people to remove the remaining tree in this way.

Fortunately, there is a much simpler approach: it requires almost no physical work.

How to remove a tree stump without uprooting it

You need two items. We are talking about a drill and a container with kerosene

The first thing you need to do is drill holes in the remaining wood.

Ten pieces will be quite enough. The depth of each hole should be 10 centimeters or a little more.

Next, you need to fill each depression with flammable liquid and set it on fire.

After a couple of hours, there will be nothing left of the stump.

The above method is very simple. But you need to remember the safety rules.

First, there should be a fire extinguisher nearby.

Secondly, before starting the procedure, you need to cover the soil around the remaining tree with sand and water it.

Thirdly, if the soil is peaty, then you can't use kerosene! In this case, you'll have to forget about the method: choose a safe way to remove the stump.
