Burning out tree roots

I don't know about burning out conifer but I tried it with Sycamore. I tried various ignition methods including building a hot bonfire over the stump. It doesn't work - you get a harder slightly smaller black stump. What did work was to excavate around the stump and then drill numerous holes through the stump as far sown as possible. Then I snapped it off and filled in the hole. a Lot of work and only a small stump. But what if Iwant to plant another tree there? Will the rotted (rotting?) roots kill off any new roots? The difference between beech sand and good garden soil is that the latter has a large percentage of rotting and rotten organic material and the former is just sand. I think it's time for your medication, Franz :-) I gardened happily and successfully with just that for soil when my garden was on the Bagshot sands. Franz |
