Default A gardening DIY question

Stumps...

dig around each stump and cut off another 4 - 6 inches, then pull the
soil over and wait for nature to take it's course, or you could split
them with the axe first, which makes cutting them with the saw easier.


I pull out stumps with a winch, lots of digging and axing,
and an aluminium scaffold bar for a handle
(and best to leave 4 or 5 feet above ground
to tie the cable to the top and get leverage
(i learnt that by experience))

Some say if you cut it with a hollow in the stump
then rain water collects there and helps it rot.

or drill a hole and pour in some Stump Killer chemical

Or as they say leave it underground and hope it doesnt spring back to life.
