How to Remove a Tree Stump Naturally

how to remove a tree stump naturally.

Here is a follow up on this stump salting experiment

There is a possibility that if this works, it will prevent anything else from growing in the area because of the salt concentration 

I found a lot of websites recommending this method, but nobody actually following up for long-term follow up on whether or not it worked so stay tuned for the results

I am a horticulturist and this works against what you are trying to do. Salt kills bacteria and fungi which is what you are trying to encourage to grow to break down the stump. I would use ammonium sulphate and potassium nitrate, both are usually available at most garden centers. Keep up the hard work.

Just to be clear - hitting the dirt with your chain saw doesn't dull it really quickly- it dulls it instantaneously. If you touch the dirt for a nanosecond you might as well quit what you're doing and go sharpen your saw.

THANK YOU FOR NOT HAVING GOOFY MUSIC LIKE ALL THE OTHER STUMP REMOVALS VIDEOS!

Best way that I've ever gotten rid of a stump after taking down a tree is to just dig all around the tree and break or cut the roots and push or pull the tree over and let the weight of the tree pull the stump out of the ground using the weight of the tree. Then dispose of it accordingly. Then either burn it, bury it somewhere else, or haul it off somewhere. God bless and have a wonderful day. 👍👍

Now I know why I have sink holes where there were stumps. It makes perfect sense. I didn't think of that before. Thank you!

Had a 6 ft diameter maple stump cut two above ground, added steer manure & dirt on top of it made a potato patch - grew potatoes for three years - stump is gone and I had good crop of potatoes for three years

I had an old oak stump in Louisiana quite awhile back. Came out daily for a week and poured a cup of diesel on it. On the 7th day I lit it off and it smouldered for the better part of a month. I eventually tried pouring water on it and it would just light back up. Two months later it finally died down after I covered it with dirt. Let a huge sinkhole afterwards that seemed to take forever to fill up. Got rid of the stump pretty good but annoyed the heck out of the neighbors 🤣

Someone gave us a FIRE RING years ago we never used it so I used it to burn out a stump it worked GREAT, I like the SALT idea, thanks.

I’m having a hard time wrapping my head around how you are able to post 1-2 videos each day for the last couple weeks. Thank you for all your hard work!

[patriotallen]

Thanks for video. Tree stump removals are always a classic!

Newer research from one of the Universities says "no holes on top" just put holes on the sides of the stump. Holes on top collects more ran water & encourages mosquitos to lay eggs in standing water than holes on the sides where water runs off.

Wow, a whole lot better than digging and burning? I'mma have to keep an eye on this one.😮

Love the blade..bigger kerf..when they cames out with carbide blades for skill saws they were expensive, now i wouldnt even think of using the old style blades..❤

I wet mine down with white vinegar after the salt and it works great.

Guys never pour salt in a garden or farming land because it will become useless for any kind of vegetation, plants, crops, whatever. And no, salt does not remove tree stump. Salt does kill a tree but does not remove it.

"Howdy" from Chad Doss at Doss Farms. I clicked specifically on this video to see what you used on that tree stump. A "tree man" told me you can also drill down into the stump and pour in a bottle of Milk of Magnesia. I looked it up and found that yard plants love the extra magnesium, too!

Good man. I've welded a 10 inch rod, onto a 7/8 inch spade bit. Now, about 15 inches long. Works good, in a large Zephyr drill ; the one with a D- handle. It's a beast. NO shortage of power, and its' over 40 years old. Anyway, i've killed about 6 stumps here in town, so far. People trim their shrubs, trees, and some even cutoff trees, at ground level. Few REALLY kill the stump ; so the cleanup work, is mostly on-going. Thanks, for the education. I use epsom salt, and very strong vinegar, 10 % acetic acid. Used kerosene and vinegar, on another stump.

Gonna do the compost method. That sounds like a good area to plant veggies, or shrub tree, herb garden maybe.

If you use rock salt, will anything grow there again?
