Ways Of Using Epsom Salt Solution For Tree Stump Removal

By Lonnie Shamblin


There are numerous chemicals that can be utilized for tree stump removal. Epsom salt is one of them. Though small concentrations of this chemical is useful to the plant; feeding these in huge amounts will ultimately have a destructive effect. This makes this chemical a very popular tool for tree stump removal. Epsom salt has shown to be a cheap and acceptable way in removing those tree stumps.

Bowl Method

The utilisation of the bowl strategy for stump removal is performed by filling a hollow part of the stump with a mix of Epsom salt and water. If the stump doesn't have a natural hollow or hole; cut one where you may decant the solution. There's no exact proportion of the water and salt for so long as the solution is reasonably concentrated. Bear in mind that you may need to pour solution into the hollow from time to time as it disperses or is being soaked up by the stump.

Dousing Methodology

If your stump does not have a hollow, the dousing method for tree stump removal will work best for this instance. With this strategy, you will have to trim the stump as close to the ground as practicable. You'll then apply a mixture of Epsom salt and water to soak the entire surface of the stump. To make certain that the solution will soak into the stump as well as to promote decay, cover it will mulch or dust. You may also have to reapply the solution.

Drilling Technique

The drilling technique in tree stump removal is the most invasive among all the methods. The nice thing about this is it is also the swiftest and will therefore give you the required results in a short period of time. This method will need you to drill holes into the stump that are about 1 inch wide and 1 foot deep where you may pour in the solution. This way the Epsom salt solution will simply penetrate and infuse in the wood in a shorter amount of time.

Should any one of these strategies fail to give you results, you can mix these methods in the expectation of a better effect. With the utilisation of Epsom salt, tree stump removal gets easier and faster.
