Description
Two stumps behind that school. Same kind of tree, cut down the same week by the same man with the same saw, and both of them got the same treatment out of the same bag. One of them is gone. The other one is a tree again, and it is taller than you are.
So whatever was in that bag is not what made the difference. It cannot be. Both of them got it.
I was the head custodian at one public school for forty years, and everybody there called me the janitor. That district never had a grounds crew, so the mowing was mine from May to September, and nine trees came down in that yard while I worked there. I mowed around every one of those stumps afterward, and I tried nearly everything anybody ever told me on them.
Here is what is in this video.
The ten second test that tells you which of the two problems you actually have. There is dead wood, and there is a living tree with its top cut off, and almost nothing you can buy makes any difference to the second one.
Why Epsom salt is magnesium sulfate, which is plant food, and why the state university collection of every published study on it contains not one line about wood.
What the jar in the hardware store actually says on its own label, read to you line by line. One brand publishes a safety sheet listing one hundred percent potassium nitrate, with the hazard statement may intensify fire, oxidizer. The other brand's label says the stump should be seasoned twelve to eighteen months first, and then four to six weeks later, simply burn it. Wood only rots when it is wet. A product that wants your stump bone dry is not a rotting product.
What genuinely takes a stump apart, which is a fungus and four conditions, and roughly how long it really takes. Ten years, not ten weeks.
And the last one, which is that everything deciding how hard this job will be happened before you walked out there with a bag. Two moments, and if you missed both, the good news is at the end.
There is also one thing in here I told people for fifteen years on the strength of one sheet of paper, and I cannot find the study behind it.
