You can hollow out a stump with a chainsaw although you have to make sure to be safe about it as it can be dangerous.

You can also remove a tree stump with just a chainsaw by simply digging around the stump, cutting it as low as possible.

Then cut crisscross slices into the stump 4-6 inches below ground level.

Keep in mind to avoid the contact of the chainsaw with the ground.

To cut down a tree without pinching the chainsaw you cut a wedge out of the tree on the side you want the tree to fall.

And then use wedges in the trees cut area where you're cutting the tree to help keep the tree from pinching the chainsaw.

To stop your chainsaw from getting stuck, make a cut on top of the log or tree that's preferably one-third of the log's diameter.

Use your chainsaw to cut from the underside until you meet the initial top cut.

Always stand on the side when cross-cutting to prevent injury.

When dirt comes into contact with a chainsaw blade the chainsaw blade will get dull and the dirt wears out the chain links faster, causing the chain to stretch and also the dirt wears the sprocket at the bar tip.

To get rid of tree roots above ground you should dig a hole all the way around the tree roots and then use a chainsaw or pruning saw to cut the root through and remove it.

To get rid of tree roots under concrete you can sometimes use a chemical herbicide to kill the tree roots.

Or you can remove the broken concrete sections and dig the roots out and cut them out with a chainsaw or other saw.

The best tool to cut tree roots is a chainsaw although small tree roots can be cut using loppers or garden shears.

A shovel and spade or branch cutters or a mattock can sometimes cut small tree roots.

However large tree roots need a chainsaw to cut through them.

You can cut tree roots with a chainsaw.

The tree roots are the same wood as the tree and you can safely cut the tree roots using a chainsaw as long as you dig out the dirt away from the roots.

The dirt can dull the chainsaw chain if it gets into contact with the dirt.

Once you cut a tree it takes the tree stumps around 3 years to 7 years to rot depending on the size of the tree stump.

To fully rot some tree stumps can take around 10 years or so.

You can put a raised garden bed over a tree stump.

Adding a tree stump flower bed is an inexpensive way to fix an unsightly tree stump, adding height and variety to the landscape.

The raised garden bed can also serve as a raised planter for those individuals that are restricted by physical limitations.

If left untouched, a tree stump and roots will start to rot and, over time, become home to pests, fungi, and other organisms.

And sometime the roots will keep growing.

To treat soil after removing a tree you should add some topsoil and seed around the top of the hole and in other areas that were impacted by the tree removal.

Water the soil gently which will help it settle and wait around a week if the soil has started to cave in and then add more top soil or if it has not caved in you can add some grass seed and cover it with a small amount of soil.

You can plant a tree in the same spot as the old one although it's not best to do so.

Instead you should plant the tree in another spot where the soil is fresh as the soil where the old tree was has most likely used up the majority of the rich nutrients that the new tree you plant needs to grow.

Trees will sometimes grow back if cut in half although not always.

Sometimes a tree will start to grow back branches out of the cut tree stomach or start to grow a new tree from the top of the tree stump.

When pruned properly, removed tree branches will not grow back.

Instead, the tree will grow what looks like a callous over the pruning cut, which helps protect the tree from decay and infection.

Because trees heal all on their own, you don't have to use a pruning sealer!

The tree that gives the most oxygen is the Pine Tree.

Pine Trees give off the most oxygen although they have a low leaf area index.

Other trees that give the most oxygen are Douglas Fir, Spruce, True Fir, beech, maple trees and oak as well as aspen trees.

Phytoplankton also produces oxygen and produces more oxygen than trees.

Between 50 percent to 80 percent of oxygen that is produced on earth comes from the ocean and most of that oxygen is produced by phytoplankton.

Some fun facts about phytoplankton are.

Phytoplankton are responsible for cloud formation.
Phytoplankton are a type of algae.
Phytoplankton help in absorbing of carbon emission.
Phytoplankton produce half of the world's oxygen.
And some types of phytoplankton are also bioluminescent.

If all the phytoplankton are eliminated from a pond the fish and aquatic life in the pond would quickly die off.

If there's no phytoplankton in the pond there will also be no oxygen for the fish and so only Anaerobic bacteria will be able to grow in the pond.

Eliminating phytoplankton from a ponds ecosystem will destroy the ponds ecosystem completely and restrict the flow of energy.

The things that mainly feed on phytoplankton include crustaceans, zooplankton and small fish.

Phytoplankton is an algae that is a microscopic marine algae which provides food for a wide range of sea creatures in a balanced ecosystem.

The food that phytoplankton eat is food they produce through the process of photosynthesis.

Phytoplankton convert sunlight into energy and use the converted energy to form sugar called glucose which they then store as a source of nutrients.

Life on earth would be affected terribly if phytoplankton disappeared as the entire aquatic system would collapse and the oxygen on earth would also decrease.

Through photosynthesis, phytoplankton use sunlight, nutrients, carbon dioxide, and water to produce oxygen and nutrients for other organisms.

With 71% of the Earth covered by the ocean, phytoplankton are responsible for producing up to 50% of the oxygen we breathe.

If all of the phytoplankton died there would be a complete collapse of our aquatic ecosystem which would also increase levels of carbon in the air and also accelerate climate change much faster and further.

The loss of phytoplankton would be a huge problem for marine food chains because every creature in the ocean either eats phytoplankton or eats other organisms that depend on it.

If the numbers of phytoplankton start to decrease, the populations of these species would drop as well.

Phytoplankton is used as a supplement for humans as well as food for sea creatures and also for the base of several aquatic food webs and to keep a balanced ecosystem.

Phytoplankton is worth taking because of it's ability to strengthen your cell membranes and also induce cell regeneration.

Phytoplankton is high in Vitamin E, bioflavonoids, beta-Carotene and alanine which also helps strengthen and improve your immune system.

The side effects of taking phytoplankton are nausea, burping, diarrhea, constipation, vomiting, stomach pain or stomach discomfort, joint pain and heartburn.

Phytoplankton does expire and has a shelf life of around 12 months.

Phytoplankton will also settle out of suspension and also die if left packed down on the bottom too long.

Phytoplankton does not need to be refrigerated as it contains preserving agents which prevent the phytoplankton from going bad.

You can keep phytoplankton at room temperature and it will be just fine.
