How big , how many, pine, oak or gum? We had some thinning done 3 yrs ago and last fall we were busting off the rotted pine stumps that were under 12".

small pine stumps can be left 2' talll and be broken down in less that 2 years by hand or tractor.
I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....

It's all loblolly. I'm pretty sure that today's loblolly's which usually don't grow more than about 30-35 years don't produce lighter/kindling. I could be wrong, but I'm fairly sure about that.

If you pour trace mineral salt over it the deer and other animals will dig it up. It takes several years, but they will even chew on them.

On the houseplace I have when I bought it, it had 75 trees on about 3/4 acre. I borrowed a mini X from work and dug a few oak and gum out. very time consuming and had to then get dirt to refill all the holes. Rented a walk behind stump grinder for the weekend and ground the rest about 6" below grade in 2 days.

Thanks, hosscat. That's similar to what I have heard. I'm going to give it a try. Will report results, as most of the stumps are about 3 years old now.

It'll take a heck of a lot longer than 3-5 years. The center of pine stumps become kindling. Hard a rock and will tear something loose, maybe even you. Great for starting fires, but not for plowing thru. They'll need to be dug up. It'll take 10-15 years before you can break the center out of the stumps. Only if it's old growth long leaf. These hybrid lob lollies we got today will rot in 2 years. I just plowed up a bunch of 2 year old pine stumps. They busted like dry goober hulls.
My opinions and comments are my own. They do not reflect the position or political opinions of Aldeer or any of the Aldeer administration.
