How to get rid of stump?

Irina

A tree was recently cut down, and all that was left was a stump. Please advise how to get rid of it? I've never encountered anything like this before.

I know that in order not to uproot the stumps, they are watered with some kind of nasty stuff and they rot and collapse. But if you are not going to build anything in this place, then you can make a beautiful flower bed out of a stump - hollow out the wood a little with a chisel, pour some soil there and plant at least the same nasturtiums.

Good idea for flower beds. We put an ordinary old tire on the stump, then we poured earth into it and planted petunias. The bottom of the wheel was painted white.

And the parents have a huge tree stump at their dacha, so they made a house for the children on it. It worked out very well.

A house on a stump is cool! Recently we visited some friends at their dacha in the village, and there was a post-war house, practically crumbling, and next to it there was a huge stump of some tree - about four meters in diameter! However, it has already completely rotted, only the bark remains.

Such huge stumps in the area near the house are very rare. On a regular stump, you can make a small table, or equip it as a bench. If it is high, then you can install a water tank on top and water the garden.

Very often, stumps are watered with acid, but this is done in the fall so that it gradually breaks down over the winter.And in the spring you can already remove all that is left of it.

The other day we were walking with the children in the park and noticed that wooden sculptures in the form of fairy-tale characters were made precisely from tree stumps - some were very small, and some were taller than human height. But, of course, you need to be able to do this - carve wood. And so, I think it’s a good idea.

If you want to get rid of it completely, then you will either have to uproot it or just pour diesel fuel on it and burn it out. There is no other way. Or come up with a design with it. For example, we put a pot of petunia on this one.

Why get rid of it right away??? you can beat it somehow. We also thought that we would have to delete it somehow. It was during that period that landscape design company architects were hired to improve the site and they made us such a beauty out of hemp. Unfortunately I can’t add a photo here for some reason. They cut out the middle of the stump and planted flowers there. Visually it looks like a bouquet in an unusual pot)))

First you should dig a trench around the stump. Then, cut off all the roots and uproot the stump. If this does not work, it means that there are also vertical roots going down. Using a crowbar you need to tilt it and cut them down. After this, the stump can be easily uprooted.

For us, the stump serves as a table, and from the rest of the trunk we made more stumps for sitting down. But it all depends on where your stump is located. Of course, you can’t sit in the middle of the garden. It worked under our house. Looks great and functional!
