How to rot stumps
Had some dry acacia stumps that the sledge and axe just bounced off of.
Got the notion to put the "decomposer community" to work. (I write about Natural History-had just finished article on the carbon cycle). Thought about the mushrooms growing on the corral scapings pile from the sheep and horse and chickens. HMMMMMMMM??
Piled some on all stumps, kept damp all winter, by spring the stumps pretty much just crumbeld away when kicked by my steel toed boots.
Years later, had a pepper that was 2 feet by three feet, finished off a once-nice 3700 poulan trying to flush cut the stump.
Used two buckets of wild rabbit crap, some weeds, some grass clippings, kept moist until winter rains, let nature take over, in 9 months it just came apart with a hoe. In big spongy chunks.
GET SOME Ma Nature!!!
ps-winters here only get a few weeks of overnight air temps in the 20s, and ground proly seldom below 32. fwiw.
