In the vacated space you can plant a new tree, create a garden bed or flowerbed.
Sooner or later, the moment comes when the tree dies and becomes dangerous for the residents of the house. It must be cut down. Removing the stump is a separate story.
You can use special equipment to uproot the stump. Or use a more cunning method that requires almost no active participation of the summer resident, and the costs are minimal.
But there is one downside – time. You won’t be able to get rid of the stump instantly, you’ll have to wait.
The first way
Urea will help remove the remaining part of the tree trunk. To do this, summer residents drill a couple of dozen holes in the stump, fill them with urea and pour water. Then cover with black polyethylene and leave for several months.
If the stump is large, the process can take up to 2 years. Eventually, the wood will turn into dust and can be easily removed.
The second way
Another option is sodium and potassium nitrate. Summer residents use these products only in cases where no other cultivated plants grow within 1.5 m of the stump. But this option is faster than with urea.
The principle is similar: drill holes, pour, fill with water, cover with polyethylene. Saltpeter will dry out and destroy the wood from the inside.
