Hi. Converting a tree stump into a planter is one of the best way to
decorate your garden. It's beneficial also, because the new plants will
get all sorts of nutrition from the dead tree. Nowadays, more & more
people are using dead tree stump as planters. By this, we can reuse the
dead tree, can decorate our garden & grow more plants.

But isn't it challenging to hollow out the stump? Or am I not getting
it...?

If the tree died, it might rot from the inside and
leave a hollow stump.

Now I think about it, my neighbor put some plants
in a stump like that. Used mulch too.
Looked pretty good.


To me, that is the way to do it...maneuver a tad of space in the
center and plant something...the planting itself will help to open up
the center. It'll take more than a while, but it'll happen.
