Hi, I have many large (30 inches round)tree stumps in my yars that I would like to get rid of. They have been there for many years now and are half rotted. Is there something I can put on them to make tham rot faster? I have broken them up with an ax but what isd left is to strong to break. Thank you for any help and enjoy this lovely day. :-D
You can drill several deep holes in the top of the stump, fill the holes with sugar or molasses and cover the whole stump with a thick layer of mulch. The microbes love it and it aides in the decomposition of the stumps.
I agree with toni on this. But I wouldn't use sugar as it may draw ants, molasses on the other hand doesn't.
Well . . . like they say . . . when life gives you lemons . . . make lemonade . . . I would save a couple of them, and fill them with rich dirt from the woods, and used them for planters . . . put wild violets in them . . . My late grandmother did this, and they were just lovely!!!
Thank you . . . but I can't take the credit . . . will just pass it on. Unfortunately, I have no tree stumps to do this.
