Does anyone use/recommend salt as a stumpkiller.
We've been trying it over the last year and it sems at least as effective as
commercial stump killing products.
With the salt being contained within grooves scribed into the outer margins
of the stump, leaching and contamination of surrounding soil is avoided.
Used this way I would not consider salt to be any more harmful than eg.
Glyphosphate based products.
Cost, availability, storage and use are all very straightforward with salt.
Commercial products are heavily researched and marketed for the purpose so
their effects are well known.
In my experience salt kills stumps as effectively - but does not have the
level of research to qualify as an approved product for the purpose.
I presume this is the main reason why applying salt in the same manner of
application as a granular stump killer is not more widely used.
Am I missing something else here?
Has anyone else experimented with it on stumps?
Regards
Mark Nankervis
