How to burn tree stumps. How to get rid of stumps without uprooting: chemical method, crushing

As a result of the drying of the tree, as a rule, the trunk is sawn down at the root, after which an interfering stump remains, which everyone wants to quickly remove.

Today, there are many options for how to remove the stump yourself.

The following methods of uprooting stumps are considered the most effective:

• Manually
• By chemical means
• With the help of mushrooms
• Mechanical removal
• With the help of a crusher
• Uprooting with a winch
• Water or crowbar

Now we will analyze each of the methods in more detail.

Manual Stump Removal

The manual method of removing stumps is the longest and most laborious, but at the same time does not require any cash costs. All you need is bayonet shovel and an ax (or a hacksaw). First, you need to dig the stump from all sides (about half a meter), after which the freed roots are cut, and the stump itself is pulled out of the ground. This method allow for short span time (several hours) to extract the root, while not spoiling the decorative objects of the garden and not harming the environment.

Stump removal with chemicals

This method is one of the simplest, because. does not require physical effort. The essence of chemical stump removal is that the stump is processed special tool, which within 1-2 years completely destroys it with an underground root system.

To date, the chemical removal of stumps using the following tools:

• Saltpeter (sodium, potassium, ammonium)
• Urea
• Salt

Let's briefly consider the essence of each of the methods.

When using potassium and sodium nitrate, it is necessary to drill a hole in the stump (over 30 mm in diameter) and tightly hammer it with nitrate, then carefully wrap the stump with plastic wrap and leave it for about a year. As soon as a year has passed, you need to remove the film and set fire to the remains of the stump.

Please note that this method is not suitable for peat soils, because. they are very flammable.

Stump removal with ammonium nitrate (in fact, like urea) is a similar process. The only difference is that there is no need to set fire to the stump, because. in a year or two root system will disappear on its own.

When removing a stump with table salt, you just need to cover the object large quantity coarse salt and in a year there will be no traces left of the stump (only dust).

For mushroom lovers, this method will allow you to combine the useful with the pleasant. All you need is to place the mycelium of your favorite mushrooms on the surface of the stump. As a result of their vital activity, mushrooms will destroy the structure of the stump, after which you can cook your favorite mushroom dish.

It should be noted that mushrooms negatively affect the vital activity of surrounding plants, so if it grows nearby beautiful flower bed think about another way.

If you are faced not with one stump, but with a whole garden, then you may have to use special mechanized equipment - tractors, which quickly remove all stumps. The disadvantage of this method is the high material costs of hiring specialists, as well as the fact that heavy equipment will damage landscape design the entire site, after which it will take more than one week to restore beauty.

It should also be noted that instead of tractors, you can simply hire tree trimmers. With the help of chainsaws and other tools, they will quickly and accurately remove interfering objects.

The crusher is garden tools, effectively extracting old stumps by crushing them with an executive body. The cost of the crusher is high, but there is a service "rent of the crusher", which will allow you to inexpensively extract the stump in a short period of time.

The disadvantage of a pnedrobilka is that it can only remove a small stump (up to 30 cm deep), and this will require clearing the area close to garden debris.

Uprooting with a winch

Uprooting a stump with a winch is quite effective and will allow you to quickly remove the stump from the ground.

To work, you will need the following tools:

• Winch
• Axe
• bayonet shovel
• Lever arm
• Rope

It should immediately be noted that this method is only suitable if there is a stump with a trunk about 1 meter high.

First you need to dig around the stump at a distance of half a meter, then chop off visible roots and fix the winch on a nearby support (at its base). After that, you need to fix the rope on the stump (preferably higher), and under the stump itself, as far as possible, put a lever. As a result of the work of the winch, the extracted stump should come off the ground.

Removal of stumps with water and crowbar

These two methods relate to the manual removal of stumps, but will only facilitate this laborious process.

Removing a stump with a crowbar is suitable if the tree was young. In this case, it is necessary to release all the roots with a shovel, cut them, after which place the crowbar directly under the stump and with effort alternately tilt the stump in different directions until the object to be removed is completely free.

Manual removal of the root with water will quickly and efficiently free the roots from the ground. All that is needed is to dig a hole near the stump (at a distance of half a meter) and wash the roots from the ground with a hose. Water under pressure will completely free the root system, and the dirt will drain into the dug hole. As a result, clean roots will only need to be chopped and the stump pulled to the surface.

Rutarium, as a way to use stumps in the country

If you don't want to mess around with root extraction, then why not make it a landscaping highlight?

Today, very often in summer cottages they create a rutarium (root garden). Its essence lies in the fact that instead of extracting stumps, they are painted, made into flower pots, etc. In order for you to clearly see the beauty of this design idea, we recommend that you view the photos at their summer cottage!

We do not encounter such a problem every day, and therefore even for experienced gardeners the question of how to remove a stump from a tree often becomes a difficult task. Without certain knowledge and skills, it is impossible to solve it qualitatively and quickly. But it is also impossible to leave wood "garbage" on the site.

1:1063 1:1073

A stump from a sawn tree can create inconvenience, to produce fresh shoots, to occupy usable space, which is best used for planting other crops. But this is not the main problem. If thin roots can eventually be naturally processed into compost and become a full-fledged fertilizer, then this will not happen with massive roots and the rest of the trunk. Very soon, a stump that has not been uprooted in time will become a source of soil infections, fungus, and a cozy refuge for pests.

Therefore, the removal of a stump is not so much a matter of aesthetics and comfort as the need to comply sanitary norms. It should be remembered that maintaining "hygiene" in the backyard or garden plot- Guaranteed durability and high yield your cherished "green friends".

1:543 1:553

So how do you remove a stump from a tree? Consider the options.

The classic method - uprooting the stump by hand

This is traditional way removal of a stump and part of the root system of a sawn or dead tree. The method is simple when it comes to a small stump, and incredibly time consuming in the case of old trees, whose age is many decades.

2:1744

Although if we consider this process as an inevitability and tune in to work, then everyone can cope with such a task. Of course, you should not refuse the help of friends and neighbors, but if there are no such proposals, then you will have to pick up a shovel, not forgetting about gloves, and act on your own.

2:583

First you need to dig around the stump well, exposing the lateral roots as much as possible. As soon as they are available, they need to be cut or trimmed. When the lateral roots are separated from the stem part, the stump should be loosened well so that access to the most important thing is opened - the tap root, which goes vertically down. It will also need to be separated from the stump. It is desirable that the part remaining in the ground is below the fertile layer.

2:1359

But that's not all. It is also necessary to remove all large roots from the ground so that they do not interfere with the subsequent cultivation of the vacated area.

The easiest way to remove a stump

Only in fairy tales stumps themselves jump out of the ground. Therefore, you should not relax, you will have to work hard here. But there is a way to optimize this process. The idea is that the roots extending from the stump can be washed away with water, thereby facilitating access and removal.

3:1101

To do this, you need to dig another hole, comparable in size to the one that will be dug around the stump when digging. The soil around the stump is eroded under pressure by a jet from a hose, and excess water goes into a hole prepared for this purpose. When the roots are well washed out, they will become as accessible as possible for pruning and uprooting.

Technological method, mechanized method of stump removal

Probably, few have heard that there is a special unit for removing stumps - a stump crusher. True, this superweapon is worth it as the latest development of NASA, but for the sake of completeness, it will not be superfluous to mention it. Maybe someone wants to do stump fighting professionally and open their own business. Fortunately, there is a request for such a service, and things will go well.

4:1293

But back to the stump grinder. Outwardly, it is very similar to a professional gas-powered cutter on wheels, which is used to cut asphalt and other hard surfaces. In fact, it is what it is, it is only used to turn stumps into sawdust. She cuts stumps thoroughly and, most importantly, very quickly.

Removing stumps with salt

This is one of the most budget options, but you still have to fork out for a pack of salt. Sodium chloride, although it is a food additive, has pronounced aggressive properties. Table salt destroys wood and this is a fact. You can test this property of salt with benefit by destroying a stump with it.

5:1139

To do this, it is necessary to pre-drill several holes in it with a large drill, pour salt into them, fill them with water, cover the entire “construction” with cellophane and forget about its existence for a year and a half. During this time, the salt will destroy the structure of the wood, and the stump can be simply and easily uprooted on their own without anyone's help.

Biological method - destruction of stumps with mushrooms

You need to make a reservation right away, this method does not belong to the category of express methods. You have to wait at least two years. But why rush when an amazing prospect opens up to combine pleasant and tasty with useful, and even enjoy these benefits for several years. The idea is simple - infect the stump with fungal spores. There are two worthy candidates for this role - oyster mushroom and winter honey agaric. Both of these species are almost omnivorous and feel great on any stumps, except for those left from coniferous trees.

6:1572

The technology of "infection" is extremely simple. Mushroom mycelium, preferably grain - already germinated on the substrate, is introduced into drilled holes or notches on the stump. And that's it. It is desirable, however, to moisten the stump occasionally, especially in hot weather. If this is done in the spring, then in October you can already expect a harvest of oyster mushrooms, and from December to March, collect winter mushrooms. In three years, the stump will generally turn into dust, and the experience gained may be the impetus to start growing mushrooms seriously.

Removal of stumps by chemical-pyrotechnical method

According to the implementation technology, it is close to the version with table salt. Only saltpeter is used in this case - sodium or potassium. The advantage of the method is that the base impregnated with saltpeter, in our case, wood, burns very well. After all, it is not for nothing that saltpeter is the most important component of many types of gunpowder.

7:2142

To implement the method, you need to drill a lot of holes in a stump, fill them with saltpeter, fill them with water, cover them with a plastic bag or film from precipitation, and be patient for a year and a half.

7:349

When the saltpeter does its job, and the wood of the stump softens, there is no need to rush to uproot it mechanically. It is enough to pour some combustible liquid on the stump and set it on fire, or build a fire around it. Saltpeter in the process of burning abundantly releases oxygen, due to which in this way it will be possible to burn out even deeply rooted roots. This method popular not only among domestic gardeners, but also widely practiced in foreign farms.

Chemical method of stump removal

This method is for people with increased patience. Here we will talk about urea, and scientifically - ammonium nitrate. The bookmarking method is no different from the method with potassium and sodium nitrate. Only the option of arson will not work here, and it will take a little longer to wait for the destruction of the stump.

8:617

But when the stump turns into dust, its remains can be easily dug up with the ground and new plants can be safely planted in this place. Ammonium nitrate- first-class fertilizer, so this method of removing stumps gives a double effect.

8:1063 8:1073

9:1578

The method is a bit "poisonous"

Let's talk about herbicides. Despite the widespread opinion about the absolute harm of herbicides, it can be said that "the devil is not as terrible as he is painted." Anyway, modern drugs"Glisol", "Alaz", "Tornado", "Roundup", "Zero" and others, designed specifically for the destruction of weeds, are practically harmless, they quickly decompose into phosphates, carbon dioxide and water.

9:843

There are two ways to introduce chemicals - either treat them with a fresh cut, or evenly distribute them around the stump over the surface of the soil. Abundant watering or rainfall will do their job, and the preparations will penetrate deep into the root system.

9:1276

These chemicals are effective only in the case of a freshly cut tree, as they are designed to destroy only living vegetation.

9:1542

Another one of them important property- the so-called systemic, allowing substances to quickly spread through the capillary system of the plant. Introduced into the structure of a tree, in particular a fresh stump, they quickly kill it, after which the latter collapses and becomes pliable for uprooting.

Late autumn allows summer residents to switch from basic gardening to secondary ones. The crop is harvested, the site is cleared, it's time to take care of removing stumps that have long been interfering.

Not everyone has the opportunity to hire special equipment or a team of workers from neighboring countries when you need to uproot one or more old stumps from a plum or apple tree on the site.

We did not encounter such a problem, but our nearest neighbor had to uproot a stump. He subsequently varnished it and left it as a trophy and decoration. A photo of that stump can be found in a note two years ago (link to it on the right).

Maxim dug the stump from all sides, chopped off the maximum number of roots, and pried it with a crowbar. Then all the steps were repeated many times again. The whole thing then dragged on for several days, and only then was it possible to extract the main part of that stump from the ground (it was not particularly thick, but very branched).

Of course, not all summer residents, and especially summer residents, can handle such a task. Many of us have already accumulated various sores: sciatica, hernias, etc. In this regard, the chemical method without the use of Roundup seemed interesting. Just apply it on peat soils it is forbidden. Also, it will not work in cases where the stump is located close to the fence, houses and other suburban buildings.

In the autumn, drill many deep, often located holes in the stump (drill as deep as possible, up to 40 cm) and fill them with a concentrated solution of potassium nitrate. From above, the processed stump needs to be securely covered with something to protect it from moisture getting inside. You can use a non-perforated plastic film, and to securely fasten it to the stump - a rope or wire. In this state, the stump can be "sent" into the winter.

In early spring, when there will still be snow (natural protection against the spread of fire), on a fine clear day, dismantle the shelter and set fire to the dried stump. Observe everything necessary measures precautions, keep children and pets away from the site just in case. Saltpeter soaked into the stump during the winter will contribute to good burning. During the reaction, oxygen is released, so burnout occurs to the deepest roots.

If the stump is located near buildings or on the border of the site with neighbors, the described method cannot be applied categorically. When organizing an open fire on the site, it is necessary to be guided by article 20.4 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, paragraph 218 of the Rules of the Fire Prevention Regime of the Russian Federation, the order of the Ministry of Emergency Situations dated January 26, 2016 (stay tuned for updates and additions to all such restrictions). There is a fine for breaking the rules.

If it is not possible to properly organize a campfire site, use other methods (all have their pros and cons):

• Pour into the drilled holes in the fall not saltpeter, but coarse salt (or urea). After the next rain, partially vacated holes are supplemented with new portions of salt (if you use urea, immediately wrap the stump with polyethylene and leave until spring). By spring, the salt will corrode the wood quite strongly, turning it into dust and the stump will be easier to uproot.
• If you don’t take time and the free space on the site favors experiments, plant old stump mushrooms, such as oyster mushrooms. Mycelium is not a problem to buy now, detailed instructions are presented in abundance on the Internet, at country forums. The first harvest is promised next year, and over the next 5 years, the stump will turn into complete dust.
• Any disadvantage can be turned into an advantage. Show your imagination, decorate a stump and make it, for example, an original high flower bed.

Have you experienced in practice the uprooting of old stumps on the site, what method did you use? If you have free time, share in the comments (they are often more useful than the article itself).

When planning a site, laying out a garden, creating landscape design adjoining territory stumps are a serious hindrance. Yes, and in the place of a beloved, but obsolete tree, one does not always want to observe its remnant. In such a situation, you need to remove the stump, and it turns out that this can be done in a variety of ways.

Most traditional method- uprooting stumps with your own hands. stocking up necessary inventory: shovel, axe, saw, rope. We involve a couple of assistants with good physical strength to the undertaking. We dig around the stump to a depth of about half a meter. At this stage, the thickest roots will appear, we cut them or chop them with an ax. We loosen the central part of the stump, and then we tie it with a rope and pull it out manually or with a winch. The described process can be greatly simplified if you use plumbing and a hose. We first dig a hole at a distance of a meter from the stump with a slightly larger volume than the hole around the rest of the trunk. Water will flow here, eroding the soil. Next, we create a strong pressure of the water jet and direct it to the root system. From soft soil, bare roots and the main part of the stump will be removed relatively easily. If the stump interferes only for aesthetic reasons, it is enough to cut off the visible part of it. We create a small depression around the object and at this level (just below the ground surface) we cut down the base with a chainsaw. We lay a layer of earth on top of the wood, sow grass and enjoy the view of a flat, integral lawn.

When there is no opportunity or desire to work physically, special equipment will come to the rescue. A tractor or excavator will easily uproot the stump along with the rhizome system. A forest cutter (aka a stump grinder) will quite accurately crush the wood outside and under the soil surface, resulting in sawdust and dust. The obvious minus of such "workers" - high price their lease. In addition, the method is suitable only for those stumps to which the equipment can freely pass through the territory of the site. One of the most modern methods fight against wood residues- the use of various chemicals. The following have worked well:

• Potassium, sodium nitrate. We drill along the entire cut of the stump deep holes, fill them with saltpeter, pour plenty of water on top and cover plastic wrap. The procedure is best done in the fall to leave the stump wrapped up until spring. During this time, the wood will be saturated with the substance and partially decompose, we will only have to set fire to the rotten stump. Together with the aerial part, the root will also burn out, since the saltpeter releases a lot of oxygen. Stump removal by arson can be done on clay or sandy soil, but on peat soil such an undertaking would be very dangerous.
• Ammonia fertilizer (urea). It is laid in the same way as saltpeter, covered with a film, but fire is not used here. Disposal will take longer, but after it has passed, the treated area will become very fertile.
• General purpose herbicide. Removes weeds and stumps along with the root. The chemical should be used according to the manufacturer's instructions. Most herbicides are harmless to the soil, after their application, new crops can be planted immediately.

Not only active chemical compounds can split the stump, but even salt. According to the principle described above, we drill holes in the cut, add salt, pour water, cover. After 1-2 years, the wood will turn into dust. The disadvantage of this approach is the excessive salinity of the soil, which is why plants will not take root here for some time.

When stump removal is only planned, it is important to consider all aspects future work: which method is more acceptable, what will be located in the place of the old wood and is it needed here fertile soil how expedient the whole idea is. With a correct assessment of the situation and thorough preparation, getting rid of the stump will go smoothly and correctly.

With the solution of such a question as to uproot a stump without effort and quickly, almost all owners of land allotments have to face. Stumps are inherited from the old owners or remain after the removal of trees on a building plot or vegetable garden. Because of them, difficulties arise in cultivating the land, insects settle in the wood, and the arrangement of the yard deteriorates. The resulting fungus and mold pose a serious health hazard. Everyone who once uprooted stumps knows that this is a rather laborious undertaking. It can be carried out manually or using special equipment. It is necessary to dwell on the main methods by which you can quickly destroy a stump of any size.

Uprooting stumps with a tractor

Removing stumps with heavy equipment is the most fast way clear the area. Depending on the size of the object, the use of an SUV, truck, wheeled or tracked tractor will be required. The cable must be with a sufficient margin of safety, since the root system of trees can go deep into the ground quite deep and have large area. The use of heavy equipment is justified when you need to quickly clear a large open area with many stumps.

If we get rid of stumps by uprooting, this process is performed in the following sequence:

1. Free access to each object is provided. Foreign objects are removed, small structures are dismantled, flowers and shrubs are transplanted. Dangerous places are marked with flags.
2. Stumps are prepared for fastening the cable. To do this, cuts and transverse grooves are made in them. If they are not done, then the cable will constantly slip off.
3. Outsiders are removed from the work site. The windshield of the tractor is closed with a strong grille. This is necessary, since a broken cable has tremendous destructive power.

The use of heavy equipment makes it possible to clean in a matter of hours large plot, literally strewn with stumps. But this method has certain disadvantages and limitations. So, a tractor can destroy the entire infrastructure in a developed area. Heavy equipment destroys paths, spoils flower beds and lawns. After removing the stump, huge pits remain that must be filled with soil. In addition, the cost of the service when removing 1 object is quite high. For such activities on a well-groomed site, there are other approaches.

Using crushing tools

The use of devices for milling and crushing allows you to solve the problem of how to remove the stump without uprooting quickly and efficiently. After working with a stump, a neat pit and a mountain of chips remain in its place, which will always come in handy on the farm as fuel or for soil mulching.

The undoubted advantages of the crushing method are:

1. No need to prepare the work site and access roads. The equipment is easily delivered to the most hard-to-reach places. The stumps themselves do not need to be dug in and transverse grooves applied to them.
2. Possibility of carrying out crushing in cramped conditions, among various elements landscape. It does absolutely no damage to them. You can prevent clogging of the site with sawdust by installing a fabric tent.
3. Accuracy and accuracy of the process. All parameters of the equipment operation are controlled by the operator. At the same time, the crusher turns the stump into sawdust in a matter of minutes.

However, milling also has its downsides. So, the owner of the allotment will have to decide how to get rid of the roots of the trees left in the ground. The equipment is capable of deepening no more than 30 cm below the ground level. Wood left in the ground can be a serious problem. In such a place it will not be possible to build a foundation or plant a tree. The milling method also has one more feature: crushers can only be used in areas where there are no stones, metal and construction debris in the ground. From contact with such objects, expensive equipment breaks down, which entails additional costs for its repair.

Chemical stump removal

Not everyone is able and able to use expensive equipment to clear the site. In this case, you can use special chemicals. The method of destroying stumps with the help of saltpeter has proven itself very well. Despite the fact that this substance is considered a fertilizer, in high concentration it is highly toxic, destroying living wood in a matter of months. Chemical destruction of stumps is such a simple process that it does not require special devices and recruiting professionals.

So, the list of what you need to work:

• ammonium or potassium nitrate;
• a drill or a long drill for wood with a diameter of 15-20 mm;
• a powerful drill or hand-held brace;
• cellophane;
• tape and harness.

Work on the destruction of stumps by a chemical method is carried out according to the following technology:

1. The deepest holes are drilled. Depending on the size of the stump, their number can be from 10 to 100. Drilling should be carried out in dry weather to avoid filling the holes with water and swelling of the wood.
2. Drilled holes are filled with dry saltpeter. Powder compaction is carried out with a branch or steel bar. Holes must be filled completely.
3. The powder is wetted with water until it ceases to be absorbed into the saltpeter.
4. The stump is wrapped in cellophane, which is collected from below, pulled together with a cord and fixed with adhesive tape. This is to prevent washout. chemical drug rain.
5. In the spring, the cellophane is removed, the stump is dried for several days. After that, it is set on fire. As a rule, in a few hours the wood burns out to a state of ash.

If saltpeter is not available, diesel fuel may be used. It will not poison the soil, as it will not go beyond the root system. But the burning process will be much faster.

The main advantages of chemical method the following:

• the procedure does not require serious physical effort and financial investments;
• does not suffer Environment and landscape, the complete absence of construction debris;
• the ability to perform the work independently with a guaranteed quality of the final result;
• destroyed not only above-ground part stump, but everything that is underground, including the root system.

A certain disadvantage of this choice is the length of time for the decomposition of wood. The destruction process can take several years. In some cases, it may take another year to restore the composition of the soil and wash out toxic substances from it to a safe concentration.

Specialty chemicals must be handled with care. Measures must be taken to protect the skin, eyes and respiratory organs. Before starting work, people and pets are removed from the site.

Manual stump removal

You can clear the area on your own, without the involvement of special equipment and the use of pesticides. Handmade has a number of advantages. Chief among them is that everything is completely free. Another important factor is the high accuracy of the process. You can get rid of the old stump in the most difficult places, without harming the rows of plantings and objects. Today, there are several ways to clean the site from stumps of various sizes.

It is worth stopping at the main ones:

1. Destruction construction tools. The wood is exposed to a saw, an ax and a sledgehammer with wedges. This procedure requires a lot of effort. The wood at the root of the tree is highly durable. You will need to work several hours a day. If the tree has a developed root system, then its removal will require long earthworks to get to the roots, and then level the resulting pit.
2. Whole removal. This method involves digging around the stump around the perimeter and separating the largest roots from it. After that, digging is carried out under everything separate fragments and taking them out of the ground. This will require axes, crowbars and ropes.
3. Extraction entirely with manual winch. This method can only be used to extract stumps of small diameter. The main problem is finding a reliable anchor to secure the winch. In some cases, only a powerful reinforced concrete foundation under a residential building.

Have manual method and its shortcomings:

• it is very difficult and hard, not everyone wants to spend their holidays and weekends, working for hours on end;
• work can be carried out only in the dry and warm seasons, as dirt and permafrost significantly complicate it.

Use manual labor appropriate for preparatory stages stump extraction. So, you can dig it up and cut off the roots, and pull it out with a long cable and a tractor located outside the site.

Destruction of the stump with mushrooms

This is a beautiful, exotic and quiet way to slowly but surely get rid of a stump. With no effort, you can turn old stumps into the basis for a colony of edible mushrooms. To do this, their mycelium is taken in nature and introduced into the wood. After how many months you can harvest. Usually, the best choice is the mycelium. These mushrooms are unpretentious, grow well in the sun and in the shade. For 1 season, only from 1 stump you can collect several buckets of fresh and tasty mushrooms.

The larger the colony of mushrooms, the sooner they will decompose the wood, turning it into soft, harmless dust. After a few years, the stump will turn into a shapeless pile of compost. It can be used for its intended purpose as a fertilizer for flower beds and vegetable gardens. This will make the soil ready for sowing. different cultures immediately after removal of the dust.

It should be borne in mind that mushrooms tend to spread over the site. Despite the attractiveness of choosing them, one should take into account their potential danger to plants in the garden and real estate made of wood.
