Planted English ivy on my stump .the other one sit a big pot on it and planted flowers in it .my husband drill holes in all of them then add Epson salt slowly working .Good luck
make Fairae or Gnome Homeās our of them.
We had a stump in our baƧkyard that we encircled with decorative landscape blocks several layers high to make a small raised bed. It is just big enough areĆ to plant a few tomatoes and peppers. If you are not into growing food, a raised bed would be very pretty filled with carpet roses.
The trees we had removed were huge oaks so understand what you mean about substantial stumps. And it did take a whole truck load of dirt to fill in the raised bed! LOL! Not to mention a lot of work laying the blocks. We did find that it speeds up stump decay if you bore holes in the stumps with a drill and pour Epsom salt in them.
If they are rotting what me and my kids done we chopped them in small pieces as close we could and then brought dirt in and covered them up You can make a flower ring around it and feel the dirt over it You will never see it. Or put grass sods over it. We rented a house that had 6 or more of these in the front yard We just took our time in the cool of the evening. We drive by that house sometimes now and no one would ever know they had been there beautiful yard. GOOD LUCK....
Turn one into a table with lumber or a thrift store tabletop. Ask, they may have a broken one for free. Bore a hole in table for a solar light and set a couple chairs out for a picnic.
Make a wreath of ivy or grapevine to fit around edge and staple/nail well. Then decorate for the season or holiday. For Christmas I would have a couple poinsettias and a big Santa Claus. Add a solar light on a extended pole so light shines down on decor.
Big tree..? Do a circle of lights around the Virgin Mary.
