After a saw cut of an old tree, a stump remains in the summer cottage, which can deliver certain troubles.
You can’t dig a trench under the water pipes, and you won’t be able to plant potatoes either. Of course, in such cases, the stump needs to be removed. The question is how best to do this.
Manually uprooting a stump with a crowbar and shovel is not the best pleasure. Yes, and you can tear your back.
An excavator can solve this problem faster and easier.
But not everyone has the opportunity to order special equipment, especially if the summer cottage is located far from the city.
What to do? There is one proven tool, how to get rid of a stump without making an effort.
Country tricks or how to easily remove a stump
You will need an electric drill and a 25 mm drill bit. In a stump, you will need to make a pair of holes 12-13 cm deep.
The next step will require ammonium nitrate. It is necessary to fill the powder into the drilled holes. For convenience, you can use a funnel.
After that, leave the stump "rest" for 10-12 months. To speed up the process of decay, you can cover it with plastic wrap.
It is already much easier to uproot a rotten stump - you can even do without a shovel and crowbar, with one bare hand.
