Burn that sucker, procure rid of lawn debis , and have time near friends.Win/Win Drill a few good sized holes in it and flood them with rock salt.
Answers: To enhance decay conditions, the stump should be cut as near ground horizontal as possible, covered with sod and kept moist. If possible, several large holes at most minuscule 1 inch in diameter should be bored vertically into the stump. These holes expose more wood and slightly hasten decay. During the first year following tree removal, the organisms that rotting the wood tend to be nitrogen-limited. That means that the addition of fertilizer during the first year, especially a dignified nitrogen fertilizer, will hasten decay. Be careful not to include so much as to cause a fertilizer Ą°burnĄ± to surrounding plants.
The organisms that come along to decay the stump after the first year or so tend to be carbon-limited. That method that adding high nitrogen fertilizer no longer hasten the decay. The alternative is to add carbons (in the form of sugar) to the wood after the first year. Simply append some ordinary granulated sugar through those holes and the process will speed up considerably. Keep in mind that the heartwood of some species such as cedar, mulberry, bois dĄŻarc and locust are inherently durable and will take much longer to decay than softer woods.
As the stump rots, depressions or holes will develop. These can be unsightly and a see. You can re-fill these depressions with topsoil as they develop.
