Tree Stump Planter
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 тра 2020
- I had a tree stump in my front yard that was kind of an eye sore. I'd been wanting to make a planter out of it for a while, so I made it happen. This is a quick video on turning a tree stump into a planter/flower pot.
With any planter, you want to use a thriller (plant that adds height, color and/or drama), a filler (a flatter, mound plant that fills the planter) and a spiller (trailing plant that will hang over the edge of the planter). For this video, I used red salvia for my thriller, petunias for my filler and sweet potato vine for my spiller.

The only thing I would've done differently is add a layer of gravel to the bottom of the hole, this will stop soil/compost blocking the drainage holes you cut.
Wow great idea! I wish I would have thought of this!
Great selection of plants with the contrasting colors and varying heights! Your dogs caught my eye- they look like mine, who is a tricolored mutt. What kind are they? Thanks for the video, I have a couple around my yard.
I just saw your video on UA-cam I just turned 64 and The Neighbor Next Door had a 17ft tree that died last year she wanted to get an arborist to cut it down and it cost about $1,500 one day I just grabbed the Chainsaw cut the thing down chopped it up and saw your video and decided to make a planter out of it looks very nice took me about three or four hours to do it I put some clear polyurethane around it so it wouldn't crack and then that turned out very well thank you very much🤩
Wow, what an awesome gesture. I’m so glad I could inspire you!
Genius and beautiful and creative ❤❤❤❤
Brilliant... you made it look so easy!
Omg! I was fearing for his feet when he was using that chainsaw.
You must use that thing often!
Yeah I realized when I was editing this video how dangerous it looks. It didn’t seem that dangerous in the moment.

Experience is everything.
It looked beautiful in the end!
@@annettewilcox5413 thank you
Great video. Love the planter. My neighbor just cut down a large tree in his yard and gave me five stumps. I plan to make two planters and use the other three use for plant stands. You have great talent. Blessings 🙏🏾
Thank you
Good work. ❤ Thanks respect from Connecticut.
Best video I've seen on this subject! I have 2 cedar stumps and will tackle this tomorrow. Thanks!
Thanks, glad you liked it👍 good luck with your stump.

thank you so much...lots of work ahead for me and hubby... 4 stumps ! you rock !
I have a rotted oak tree that finally fell down in the wind so next year def planting wildflowers in it lol
Sick job bro 🫡
You gave me an idea! Thanks!
Was the wood in this stump soft in the middle? Or was this tree cut down a fews years before you did this?
I like your idea, but man shorts... are your shoes steel toed? I will be using my chaps, and some safety gear - one slip up and you can easily die from a leg artery cut. Be careful out there.
Yeah now looking back on this video, it probably wasn’t the greatest idea. Thankfully nothing bad happened.
Dude ive tried watching this sp many times, i have some logs i want to hollow out but im so apprehensive to try doing plunge cuts as i've only ever cut fire wood with a chansaw before 🤕
Do you drill the hole in the part where you put the dirt or further down the tree stump?
Cut the stump a few inches above the ground. Then take the log and cut It in half. Then cut out center wood or both half’s and paint with copper coat wood preservative then screw back onto base with some plastic shims. Will last a lot longer and faster to cut. That will rot out in 2 years
Wish everyone would do this, or at least place a large basket of colorful flowers right over top.
I see why they cut the tree down. It was dead as evidenced by the soft heart wood. The planter may accelerate the decay since nothing was used to treat the edge of the stump to slow/prevent rot. Many old stumps in the forest have shrubs and seedling trees growing out of them. Don't be afraid to look around for what looks really natural. Cheers!
I think it was Teddy Roosevelt who said "Talk quietly and include very loud music"... Jesus man, I think I broke my volume knob trying to watch this. Good technique on the stump flower pot. My god that music though. No.
Yeah sorry, I was still learning how to edit videos when I made this.
Watching you jamming the saw tip straight into the stump whilst wearing shorts made my junk nervous. 😅 nice result but is that a legit chainsaw technique??
Good vid, grab yourself some mics, better to hear you with.
Do you have to wait until the stump has dried out to do this?
Great work! How long did it take you to cut the hole? 2 hours?
About 30 minutes. It helps to have a sharp chain.
Won't the wood rot?
Yes. My stump started rotting. Need to knock off the outside bark, sand, brush it, then coat with polyurethane.
@crazycatlady6396 A lot of work
what kind of chain did you have on your saw?
The one that came with it.
@@MakersLane Thanks. Just finished a stump with the help of your video.
Great video.....terrible music
