A tree stump in the garden is often a nuisance and needs to be removed. The most environmentally friendly is rotting, which you can speed up with little tricks.
From time to time a tree has to move out of the garden. Sawing it off is usually the lesser evil, but how do you deal with the remaining tree stump? If you get heavy artillery to pull the tree stump out of the ground, it can put a real strain on your wallet. In addition, this action can often not be accomplished for reasons of space.
Many garden owners use the stump for decoration and set up flower box arrangements or plant the stump. However, if you want to get rid of the tree stump for good, you can do so in a completely natural way, namely through rotting. To make this procedure a little faster, we recommend the following 3 tips.
Hint 1
To further encourage natural rotting, cut a cross pattern into the stump. A powerful, high-quality Makita cordless chainsaw is best suited for this. This creates many small squares on the top of the stump, reminiscent of a chess board.
Hint 2
The second way to rot the stump is to use a large wood drill to make holes in the stump. Then fill the grooves and holes with some compost that is already half rotted.
Hint 3
You can also add extra compost accelerator or mix it with organic fertilizer. The still fresh wood is quickly decomposed by bacteria and fungi. It is better to avoid root-ex as a decomposition poison. Of course, with flat-rooted plants, it's not a big problem to simply dig up the stump.
