Uprooting is a very complicated procedure.
To remove stumps along with the roots, a summer resident must be physically strong and resilient.
What should a gardener do if he doesn’t have that much strength?
The answer is simple: pay attention to a tool that allows you to significantly simplify the procedure.
In every home you will probably find a product that will make the process of getting rid of stumps relatively easy.
And this super-remedy is... ordinary table salt.
How to Get Rid of a Tree Stump with Salt
First, drill a few holes in the remaining wood.
The resulting depressions must be filled with table salt.
After completing the procedure, the stump must be covered with film.
Over the next few months, the sodium chloride will eat away at the wood, making it very easy to remove the wood residue.
Disadvantages of the method
The first important nuance: the trick will only “work” if the stump is from a freshly cut tree.
Sodium chloride is practically powerless against old stumps.
The second point: salt can negatively affect the soil. Therefore, the method should not be used in the area where you plan to grow something.
If you cannot or do not want to remove the wood residue with sodium chloride, then pour urea or potassium nitrate into the drilled holes.
