How to get rid of a trunk after a felled tree?

Questions aboutremoving trunks after felled treesappear more and more often, and the suggested methods usually do not solve the problem effectively.
One of the proposals is to use the help of a professional company that will useheavy equipment to extract the stump together with the rootsAlthough the stump will disappear in one day, not every garden can be entered with such equipment, and after tearing it out, the place will look like a mess! The service usually costs a lot too.
If we wantto avoid damage around the stump removal site , we can also resort to the chemical method. Then, however, we will harm the environment, the soil in the area of the chemically removed stump will be contaminated and will not be suitable for growing plants for many years. And this is not what we mean in the garden …

There was also an idea on the forum of our guide toburn the remaining stumpFirst, however, you need to cut it as low as possible, and the burning itself may take several days. During this time, you need to watch the furnace so that it does not go out but also does not cause a fire. Even if we have a lot of free time, such a few days' stay at the hearth does not seem realistic.

Is it possible somehow simpler and without damage in the garden?

A much simpler solution was suggested by Agata, a gardener near Koszalin. Importantly, it isa 100% natural and safe methodfor people, the environment, and plants growing nearby. It is enough to harness the forces of nature! Here is the story of Mrs. Agata:
" I had two old cherries to cut , infested with bacterial cancer. The bark on the trunk and branches was cracking, and the resulting wounds oozed jelly. There were also symptoms of fungal diseases, the fruits on these trees rotted easily and often wormy. In the face of the lack of success after attempts to heal the trees,was left with no other option than cutting them down
The husband first cut the branches and then cut the trunks of the trees. Unfortunatelythere were stumps with which we did not know what to doAt first I was instructed to tie the trunk tightly with chains and pull it out with a tractor. Unfortunately, it was not an option, because our garden was located among other plots and it was impossible to enter it with any vehicle.Alternatively, you can sprinkle the stump with some chemical which has eaten it up. But such environmental poisoning was in contradiction with our pro-ecological approach to gardening.
Finally, while looking for a nature-friendly and non-destructive solution to this problem in the garden, we came across the mycelium of Pg-Poszwald Eko, intended forecological, natural decomposition of tree trunksIt was enough to apply it to the remaining stumps to a year later, be able to plant new plants in this place! ".

Mycelium Pg-Poszwald Eko

How does the mycelium Pg-Poszwald Eko work?

Researchers observingnatural decomposition of tree trunks in forestsdiscovered the fungus Peniophora gigantea. It is a saprophytic fungus that occurs naturally in nature. Importantly,it inhabits only dead trunks , without harming he althy plants, trees and shrubs growing nearby.Under conditions favorable for mycelium growth, the decomposition of a dead trunk occurs very quickly.The mycelium for decomposing trunks after felled treeshas been successfully used by foresters for years to clean the forest and prepare places for planting new trees.
Now we can use this wonderful, 100% effective way, completely natural and safe for people and the environment, in our own garden.mycelium Pg-Poszwald Eko, intended for the decomposition of trunks and composting .
In a small package you will find the mycelium of Peniophora gigantea, which will allowto get rid of as many as 5 stumps with a diameter of 30 cm .

Stem decomposition after using mycelium Pg-Poszwald Eko

How to use Pg-Poszwald Eko mycelium?

After removing the product from the package, crush the product and dissolve it in 5 liters of water. We make a deep cut or drill holes in the stump that we want to get rid of, and then cover it with mycelium. To speed up the action of the mycelium, make sure that the trunk is moist , and after the mycelium has been applied, cover it with leaf mulch. You can also use a perforated foil.

Under favorable conditionsa stump after a felled tree will decompose within 6 months , although you have to take into account that it may take up to 3-4 years. It all depends on the maintenance of humidity and the size of the stump being unfolded. What is left,can be easily shredded and ruffled into , and then used as a fertile, humus substrate or thrown into compost.
In this waywe will get rid of the trunks of felled treescompletely naturally, in a safe way for nature and our garden, gaining some humus soil: -)

Good to know!
The mycelium of Pg-Poszwald Eko also perfectly accelerates the decomposition of cut branches and waste thrown into the composter. Therefore, the excess mycelium left over after use for stumps can be successfully composted.

Effects of mycelium to decompose stumps

The photos showthe effects of the mycelium Pg-Poszwald Ekowithin 6-12 months from its application. You can see that the trunks have clearly decayed and are almost falling apart by themselves. They are in such a condition that they can be easily dug up with a spade.
