00:00This tree stump looks harmless, but leaving it in the ground is a huge mistake.
00:03Stumps attract pests that can spread to your house.
00:05They also sprout new shoots, stealing nutrients from nearby plants.
00:09And if you try digging it out, good luck.
00:11A typical stump has roots spreading 20 feet underground, weighing over 1,000 pounds.
00:15That's why professionals grind them down instead.
00:17The stump gets pulverized 8 inches below ground level.
00:19But what about the roots left behind?
00:21Well, without the stump feeding them, they stop growing and start decomposing naturally.
00:26Within 3 to 10 years, they completely break down and enrich the soil.
