Stump Grinding Mulch

November 20, 2022

After stump grinding, you will have a lot of stump grinding’s leftover. Many customers ask us these similar questions. “Is grindings leftover going to waste?” “How to use the mulch after stump grinding?” “Can the mulch be used for garden, mixing with existing soil soon after stump grinding?” First of all, don't throw it away. Stump leftover is basically a mixture of the dirt and woodchips. Just let it sit and eventually it will decompose back to soil. The best way is to put it into a compost pile and let it break down naturally. It will take a while, but it is also the easiest way.

You might want to use it soon after stump grinding but you don’t want to put it right into your garden because when the mulch starts to break down, it takes nitrogen out of your garden soil. So, your flowers and vegetables might not grow very well. If that leftover mulch is not so much, you might want to mix with your soil and add nitrogen fertilizer. Actually, it worked in our yard without nitrogen. The lawn grew very well this fall after grinding. However, it might depend on the ratio between mulch and soil. So, we recommend letting it sit and use it next year for your garden. Also, the mulch is great for making pathways or using between your flowers. Weeds have a difficult time growing through the mulch.
