However, there are various things that can pose dangers in your outdoor spaces, and this includes tree stumps. One question that many people are keen to know the answer to is how to stop a tree stump from growing. When you cut down a tree, the stump and roots can grow, and this could leave you facing the same problem again a few years down the line. This easy mix liquid concentrate formulation is approved for use all around the garden, on gravel areas, paths, drives and along fences.Glyphosate: Glyphosate is a broad-spectrum herbicide that travels within the stump’s vascular system to kill the roots. It’s useful in killing green stumps. If you want to get your garden into shape, improve safety for the kids, or use the ground for something else, this is not really a reasonable amount of time to wait. Again, using the right products will help to kill the tree stump swiftly and efficiently. The Bottom Line

Another type of stump that’s a good candidate for chemical removal is a dead or “seasoned” stump. Although these stumps are incapable of sending up new shoots, they can be hazardous or stand in the way of new landscaping plans. In this case, the stump-removal product will contain a chemical that hastens the degradation of the old wood, which can take a few months or longer. Be careful while spraying Roundup if there are other wanted plants around it. It will kill nearby plants as well. These are some of the many reasons it is important to get rid of tree stumps in your outdoor areas. Depending on size, it shouldn’t take more than an hour to prep most stumps and apply a chemical product. However, it could take a few months or longer for the stump to decompose sufficiently for removal. Q. How do you apply tree-stump killer?Do not allow children or pets to go anywhere near the treated stump until the Roundup has completely dried. Resist the urge to saturate the stump. Doing so will cause the excess chemicals to run off into the soil. Not only will using more Tordon not speed up the stump-killing process, it wastes the products, creates more of an impact on the environment, and could even damage nearby trees if it finds its way to their root system. If the tree is near a steam, lake or other body of water, don’t use this product. ROUNDUP® Tree Stump Weedkiller can be used to clean up weedy areas before planting vegetables, flowers, shrubs and to renovate overgrown areas. Apply the chemical tree-stump killer or decomposing agent. Depending on the product, this might mean sprinkling granules in the holes and then pouring hot water over the stump. It might also mean painting a liquid on the surface of the stump or spraying it. Spraying is usually reserved for stumps with green sprouts, and the sprouts are sprayed as well.

Because Tordon is persistent in soil and can kill nearby trees with herbicides, it is best used to kill isolated trees or to clear brush from areas. Tordon is not a good option for killing one unwanted tree growing among other trees you wish to keep alive. Will Roundup Kill Surrounding Trees?Tordon is specifically designed for killing trees and brush, so it handles this task with less effort than Roundup. Simply apply the Tordon around the outer ring of a cut tree stump using a sponge applicator. This Tordon RTU product even contains a colored dye to clearly mark stumps and brush that have been treated. It is worth specifying how deep you would like the stump ground to. Shallow grinding, 20-25cm (8-10in), is normally sufficient for laying turf, but you should allow for deeper, 30cm (1ft), or more if replanting or landscaping. Also think about what you want to do with the sawdust. It can be left to fill in the hole, used as mulch in other areas of the garden, or taken away by the contractors. Specify which of these you would prefer before the work is started and be sure to have any diseased wood removed completely.
