Stumps hard
to remove
UNIVERSITY PARK , I
There is no economical, la
painless way to remove aftt.
stumps from yar
especially if they are large W
stumps, according to county I
agricultural agents. ;
There are several methods 3
to use in removing unwanted 5
stumps. If the ground is ]
being cleared for building J
and a bulldozer is being i
used, such equipment can ]
push out stumps quickly and 51
easily. Sometimes this i
method is overlooked in the ’
original planning of the ;
home grounds, but it may iie i
the most economical in the ;
long run. ■
Another method is with a ■
stump grinder that literally \
chews up the stump. This is
fairly expensive, so consider \
it only for large stumps A \
few tree surgery companies a
in large cities have such 1
equipment. J
A third way is for a persmP*
to bore holes one inch
