How To Remove A Tree Stump. Quickest and Easiest Method!

[@andrewhanson5942]

I'm interested in how long "no time" is. Months, years? Thanks, I do plan to give this a try. Stump grinding ain't cheap.

[@CountryLivingExperience]

Depends on the species of tree and weather conditions. Oak may be a year. Pine may be 6 months.

I rented a stump grinder a few months back and worked twenty five stumps in two days. Big oaks. About $900. Not cheap but they were done and gone.

[@TiredHighProductions]

​@@andrewhanson5942 this isn't as good for the soil. Regular table and rock salt is going to poison that section of the lawn with sodium and chloride, whereas Epsom salt is made of magnesium and sulphate (*much* better for soil)

[@oldmanpatriot1490]

I want to give a little caution for people who are not very familiar with using chain saws.... the very tip of the saw (the rounded off part) is the most dangerous while the chain is moving.... if you dont put the bar into wood correctly it does what is referred to "bucking"... What that means is the chain saw will grab and uncontrollably swing upward. Some people have been seriously injured in their face from this. That is the purpose for the face shield on helmets that arborist use. Its not to keep shavings out of your face, its to give a buffer between the saw and your face in case the saw bucks on you. Please be careful plunging the tip of the saw into anything. Learn proper techniques before attempting it.

[@carenharris863]

Good point.

THANK YOU. I never knew that. And here I was saying I’m gonna cut the trees down myself and save money. If it bucked on me I’d end up spending more money injured, missing work time and a hospital bill…yikes.

Being a little ole lady I’ve tackled stumps I think successfully by cutting them down as close to the ground.Then using a pick ,mattock,I remove a lot more soil around the stump ,about 4 to 6 inches.Then once again I chainsaw down and now I’m below soil or ground level.I make Criss cross on top use my mattock,pick to cut any visible roots.Soak slowl whilst having a cuppa, so it’s totally flooded ,then I pour salt on top and a plastic bag or more on top and around then fill the hole and top with garden soil ! Grass grows over,this is quick and cheap and not visible within a season!

I covered the trunk which was low to the ground and covered it with water softener pellets. I did this in the fall and it was gone the next spring. I also drilled holes in another one and put charcoal brickettes on top and poured the lighter fluid on it and let it burn. I did make sure to line around the trunk with rocks so it wouldnt spread and kept an eye on it. That worked faster. Epson salt is a good idea too.

[@swamprat69er]

Epsom Salts are good but Potassium Nitrate is better IF you can get it. I cannot get it up here in Canada. So I am stuck with Epsom salts.

Five years ago I used a circular saw to cut the same type of checkerboard cuts into a fir stump. I didn’t use epsom salts because I didn’t know about this trick (thank you!). But I went out to check on the stump. Half of it crumbled away quite easily; the other half hadn’t rotted away as much. I used an axe, a sledgehammer, and a chainsaw to grind up the remaining stump. It took about 10 minutes, but it did come out in chip chunks.

[@jameskrivitsky9715]

I have removed two trees, one ( a pecan ) was cut down to a stump by a skill-less laborer in my neighbor's yard. The other - a china-berry - in my yard , I dug out about a foot into the soil at the root ball. Since the trunk was still about 12 ft. tall, I attached a come-along with a chain. One end as high ...about 10 ft up with the other end at the base of a living cedar several yards away. I filled the hole with water to soften the soil in the hole and then pulled the chain taught. As the tree began to lean, I used my chain saw to cut into the root ball main roots. The tree slowly tilted until it finally fell. This left a crater and the rest of the tree I cut into lengths of firewood. Back-filled the hole and used the extra firewood over the winter. It took a bit of effort but no delay for the stump to rot. This only works if there is another anchor tree nearby for an attachment point for the come-along.. I wish all success .

[@Tassie-Devil]

A small warning for anyone with rocky soil where the stump is: NEVER underestimate how shallow the original tree might have accommodated the rocks between its roots. As the tree and its roots grow, they can literally suck up (or displace, I guess) rocks to above the surrounding soil level. I have literally destroyed chains by attempting cuts into the middle of a stump, only to find that there's one or more rocks hiding just a couple of inches beneath ground level. This has even happened when performing a horizontal cut 2 or 3 inches ABOVE the soil level. It's a trap for the unwary, and potentially could still happen in a field with very few rocks: guess where that ONE rock is going to be located? In the middle of your stump, that's where. True story.

Because man's ability to understand is very limited, he must be shepherded by people equipped by God; it is like God's use of Moses, in whom He found many fit for use at that time, and whom He used to perform the work ofGod at that stage. In this stage, God uses a person while taking advantage of the part of him that the Holy Spirit can use to produce, and the Holy Spirit guides him and at the same time perfects the remaining part that cannot be used.

I do this the same way up to the checkerboard pattern, but then pour some Kerosene in the slots and put a bag of of self lighting charcoal all over the top of the stump. Then I light it and watch it burn. In 1-3 hours, depending on stump size, the stump is now burned below the ground surface. Do it , put a grate over top and cook some wieners and burgers and have a cook out. Or do it at night and have a camp fire and drink some beer and watch it burn!! We've done it many ways. Sadly and gladly we have no more stumps! When the hole is deep enough to fill with dirt, spray on water to put out the fire and saturate the ground to prevent a ground fire.Works great.

I'm involved in just such a project right now. Manitoba Maples aka Box Elder is a weed in tree disguise. If they grow near your foundation, as in the case of my friend, they will destroy it. I did the gross cutting with a chainsaw, and then switched to a mini chainsaw ()a great tool, my current favourite). I stumbled upon the cross hatching cuts on my own, along with a brace and bit to dig holes as best I could. The little electric chainsaw just dug right in there, and dived deep into the centre, better than the drill.

I dig around smaller stumps so I can get below ground level. Your method works well as I have used it for a while now.

[@giovannibarnes4569]

I have a 1 acre lot that had close to 80 trees on it. Half of them are mature white oak, long leaf pine, and hickory (+100ft.) I cut down half the trees on my lot. The best method by far.... Cut the tree down to ground level. Drill into the TOP of the fresh stump. Add mycelium mixture to holes and water occasionally until rotting begins. (You can try using compost as well) Nothing can beat fungus on trees. You'll be able to dig out all your stumps within a year depending on the species.

But I have a wedding party coming up so I had rented the Home Depot 13 horse grinder for the day (200$ including the insurance) well well worth it. Removed about a dozen stumps in a day deep enough to fill holes and plant grass over. But anywho, for the random stumps out of the way this is a great method too.

I remember a stubborn stump that our little tractor wouldn't pull up. We dug a hole under it and put a stick under it. It just kind of went poof and didn't seem to do much, so we did it again. When that also didn't do much we put 5 or 6 sticks under it and it was raining chunks what seemed like for a while. lol.

It’s more fun to pour “go juice” into the grooves and light it. While the fire is getting started in the stump, cut the trunk into 3-4” thick rounds and place it on top of the stump. All the grooves allow plenty of airflow but the rounds on top contain the heat in the stump. Burns much quicker than if the heat escapes up away from the stump. I also give the ground around the stump a good soak to reduce the likelihood of the fire smoldering underground along the roots.

It will have the effect of breaking out a large percentage of the wood below ground level. For the remaining wood, if there is any, it will have the effect of opening the wood up below ground level and will accelerate decay of any of the remaining stump.

(No one is capable of living alone except those who have been given special instructions and guidance by the Holy Spirit, because they need the ministry and the ministry they have used by God . That is to say, God's work must be done through those whom He pleases and approves of; the Holy Spirit must use the part within them that is fit to be used for the Holy Spirit to work, and made them suitable for God to use inby the Holy Spirit perfecting them. Because man's ability to understand is very limited, he must be shepherded by people equipped by God; it is like God's use of Moses, in whom He found many fit for use at that time, and whom He used to perform the work ofGod at that stage. In this stage, God uses a person while taking advantage of the part of him that the Holy Spirit can use to produce, and the Holy Spirit guides him and at the same time perfects the remaining part that cannot be used. The work that he performs is used by God to cooperate with the work of Christ or the Holy Spirit. This person is being raised by God among the people, he is there to lead all of God's elect, and he is also being raised by God to carry out the work of human cooperation. Another way of saying it is like this: God's purpose in using this person is for all those who follow God to better understand God's will, and achieve more than God's requirements. This person used by God can also be described as a means by which God guides people, or as a "translator" who communicates between God and people. So such a person is not like any of them who work in the household of God or who are His apostles. No man can do his work for him-it is human cooperation that is the indispensable accompaniment of divine work. These workers and apostles were not chosen by God, nor can they be called those used by the Holy Spirit. The person God uses, on the other hand, is the one prepared by God, and the one who possesses specific abilities, and has personality.) Almighty God said NO ONE has the ABILITY to LIVE ALONE EXCEPT for those who have been GIVEN special INSTRUCTION and GUIDANCE by the HOLY SPIRIT, because they need the MINISTRY and SHEPHERDING of those USED by GOD. So, in every age GOD raises up different PEOPLE who are busy HURRYING to PASTOR the CHURCHES for the sake of His WORK. Which means, GOD'S WORK must be PERFORMED THROUGH those whom He is pleased with and approves of; the HOLY SPIRIT must USE the part WITHIN them that is WORTHY--MUST USE to CREATE the HOLY SPIRIT, and MAKE them fit for GOD to USE inTHROUGH PERFECTING them BY the HOLY SPIRIT. 🌹🙏🌷 Because man's ability to understand is very limited, he must be shepherded by PEOPLE who HAVE been PROVIDED by GOD; THIS is as GOD used MOSES, in whom He FOUND many SUITABLE for USE at that time, and whom He USED to DO the WORK of GOD at that STAGE. 🙏 In this STAGE, GOD USES A MAN while taking advantage of the part of him that the HOLY SPIRIT can USE to CREATE, and the HOLY SPIRIT GUIDES him and at the same time PERFECTS the REMAINING part that cannot be used. 🌹🙏🌷 The WORK that he PERFORMS USED by GOD is to COOPERATE with the WORK of CHRIST or the HOLY SPIRIT. This MAN is RAISED by GOD AMONG PEOPLE, he is THERE to LEAD ALL GOD'S CHOSEN, and he is also RAISED by GOD to PERFORM the WORK of HELPING PEOPLE.🌹🙏🌷 With ONE LIKE this, that MAKES man's COOPERATION ACCOMPLISH, more of what GOD NEEDS from MAN and the WORK the HOLY SPIRIT NEEDS to be PERFORMED in the MIDST of MAN will be ACHIEVED through Him. 🙏 Another way of saying it is like this: GOD'S PURPOSE in USING this MAN is for ALL and those who FOLLOW GOD to better UNDERSTAND the WILL of GOD, and ACHIEVE more of God's requirements. Because people do not have the ability to directly understand God's words or God's will, GOD RAISED A PERSON who was trained to PERFORM such WORK. 🙏 This MAN USED by GOD can also be DESCRIBED as a WAY through which GOD GUIDES MAN, or as a "translator" that MEDIATES BETWEEN GOD and MAN.🌷🙏🌹 So such a person is not like any of them who work in the household of God or who are His apostles. Like them, it can be said that he serves God, but in the spirit of his work and behind God's use of him, he differs greatly from other workers and apostles. If we talk about the SPIRIT of His WORK and what is BEHIND USING him, the MAN USED by GOD is RAISED by GOD, PREPARED by GOD for the WORK of GOD HIMSELF. 🌹🙏🌷 NO MAN can DO his WORK for him---it is HUMAN CO-OPERATION that must--necessary ACCORDANCE with divine work. 🌷🙏🌹 Meanwhile, the work performed by other workers or apostles is only delivering and carrying out many aspects of the arrangements for the churches in each age, or it is the work of some simple life support to maintain life--- church. These workers and apostles were not chosen by God, nor can they be called those used by the Holy Spirit. ☀️ They are chosen from the churches and, after they have been trained and cultivated for some time, those who are suitable are kept, while those who are not suitable are sent back to where they came from. Because these people are chosen from the churches, some show their true colors after becoming leaders, and some even do a lot of bad things and end up being removed from the bandwagon. ☀️ The PERSON GOD USES, on the other hand, is the one whom GOD PREPARED, and who has PARTICULAR ABILITY, and has a HUMANITY. margaret he was PREPARED and PERFECTED by the HOLY SPIRIT, and FULLY LEADED by the HOLY SPIRIT, and, especially WHEN it COMES to his WORK, he is GUIDED and COMMANDED by the HOLY SPIRIT---as a RESULT, NO DEVIATION from the PATH of LEADERSHIP in GOD'S CHOSEN,because GOD is CERTAINLY RESPONSIBLE for His own WORK, and GOD DOES His own WORK on ALL OCCASIONS. 🌹🙏🌷 From "The Word Appears in the Flesh" Fulfillment of (John 1:1) and (Ezekiel 2:9-10), (Rev. 19:9,13) 📩 All who have "ears to listen" are led to what the Spirit of God is saying in His lowered and built kingdom/Church engraved with His new name, His totality, the ownership of this disposition, "THE CHURCH OF ALMIGHTY GOD "💐 fulfillment from what was said He to Peter 2,000 years ago recorded in (Matthew 16:18-19). His Coming is the fulfillment of all that was prophesied in the great book of Revelation, so the last "Salvation" He brought the whole truth, the way for eternal life. So the "victorious" ones who will receive them are the wise "virgins" because as recorded in the prophecy of His return no one knows it except the one who will receive it! So "come" and come to His kingdom/church standing in the holy place in the air/KZbin! This is also a fulfillment from the book of (Isaiah 2:2/9:6) which He first fulfilled in His first incarnation. 📥 "They say with a loud voice, "Salvation comes from the Lamb, and from our God who sits on the Throne!" (Rev. 7:10). ... and (Isaiah 2: 2 / 9:6) "On the Last Day, the mountain on which Jehovah's temple stands will stand out above all the mountains. All nations will flock there. " . "For a baby boy is born to us. The rule will be given to him; and he shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Almighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." ❤️
