Removing tree stumps from your property is not the easiest task.
Sometimes this requires a lot of effort and the use of special equipment.
Agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh explained how to get rid of stumps in one day.
Stump burning
Several holes need to be made in the stump using a drill. They need to be deep and wide enough.
Afterwards, soak the rags in gasoline and place them in the stump. Then set the rags on fire.
When the top of the stump turns into coals, they need to be removed and the roots covered with salt.
It is only necessary to take into account that this method is quite dangerous. And when using it, it is necessary to follow many important rules.
Firstly, such a procedure should be carried out in windless weather.
Also, there should be no communications, buildings or flammable objects near the stump.
In addition, this procedure cannot be carried out on peat soil.
It is necessary to prepare a supply of water and sand nearby in case of unforeseen situations.
Other methods
To get rid of a stump, you can use other methods. They may take longer, but are no less effective.
We make deep holes in the stump and fill it with urea. Then we water it and wrap the stump with film.
As a result, the wood will soften within a couple of months and can be easily removed.
Instead of urea, you can use saltpeter. It is only important that there are no plants nearby, because these substances can be harmful to them.
Earlier we told you how to get rid of ants in your garden beds.
