What shall I do with this stump?

  I would plant it up with some small growing rockery type plants. Add lots of grit to the soil and you are good to go.

  I'd worried about Honey Fungus taking hold if it's left in.  The previous owner of my property left an Oak stump and we have had HF ever since.

  You could build a raised bed around it and it would be hidden under the soil.

  My son and I put some soil around and in the stump and I planted some plants from around the garden-primroses, cyclamen, ferns, and a little white alpine plant with a few stumps as broken pots. It looks ok and will look a lot better when I’ve put more in! I’m tempted to make it a little bigger. Thanks for everyone’s advice

  Yes Pete8, I fell in love with the sumpery at Arundel Castle, then discovered it costs £100 plus to buy stumps even on e bay, I would make it into a feature.
