Stumps in the garden not only spoil the appearance, but also take up a useful place in vain where something useful could be planted.

Getting rid of a stump is not so easy. This is hard physical labor, especially when it comes to a large tree with strong and developed roots. But there is a way.

Note that the crown radius often corresponds to the radius of the root system.

Not everyone can attract an excavator and use hired labor.

In desperation, many try to pull out the dug out stump by tying it to the car, but this is not recommended - at least you can damage the car.

How to act

To begin with, you need to drill several holes in the stump using a puncher. Holesaremadeaswideanddeepaspossible.

Then a special solution is placed in them, which is made from salt and water.

2 kilograms of salt must be diluted in 10 liters of water.

Then the solution is poured into the prepared holes, the stump is wrapped with plastic wrap, and several times.

In this state, the stump should be 3-4 months.

During this time, the saline solution will destroy the wood, and the stump will become rotten, and the root system of the stump should also die.

If the tree was large, then the procedure should be repeated.

It is worth noting that the method is only suitable for cases where there are no plants nearby that can die.
