DIY Tree Stump Removal: Creative Ways to Get Rid of Stumps Without an Expert

Today, finding someone to trim your trees or remove stumps is almost as impossible as finding a free and good plumber, chimney sweep, boilermaker or weaver. In short, there are never enough Czech hands. If you are concerned with, for example, the stump mentioned above that you want to get rid of, you do not need to expect or pay an expert, you have several options to get rid of it yourself himself.

Make a campfire

Compost

If you cut the stump a little with a motor and chop it a few times with an axe, it will be ready for composting. Take the compost and cover the stump with it, firmly tying it into each crack. Now all you have to do is wait and wait for the stump to rot. You will speed up the decomposition process by keeping the stump moist and adding nitrogen fertilizer or potassium nitrate granules specially designed for stump removal.

Dress up

In some cases, a tree stump can have a very elegant effect in the garden. If you change it a little (sand it, level it), you can use it as a table or as a stand for flowers. When you dig it, you are offered to plant flowers directly in it. Try to imagine if a tree stump could continue to decorate the garden.

Mushroom growth

If you can’t get rid of the tree stump, you can at least put it to practical use. Wood rot fungi thrive well on walnut trees and other fruit and leafy trees, such as mushrooms, Judas’ ear, boletus or shiitake. You will have mushrooms and the stump will slowly but surely shrink.
