I had this tall tree stump right in my front yard. Once upon a time it was a great cherry tree. Did I say great? I meant great big mess! Who puts a cherry tree by their front door. If it wasn't cherries being tracked into my house, it was the swarm of bees in the spring and then bird poop all summer. Constant pain. After a whole summer of making the hubs power wash our walk way he finally agreed to cut it down. Yay!
Except now I have this awkwardly tall tree stump that is determined to come back to life. All this summer I have been pruning away at growth from the stump. In it's future life it will be an amazing bar height table to accompany the built in front deck we will one day have. Until then, I must think of something.. .... ...
I couldn't be more pleased with the turn out. It was actually very simple to do.
1. I uses plastic landscape edging and taped it together to make a large ring.
2. I then took a trash can lid and placed it inside.
3. I placed them both into a big hefty bag.
4. I mixed up two 50 lb bags of quick concrete
5. Poured it on top of the hefty bag with the mold inside.
6. Let sit. (could have flipped over and placed in 48 hours but needed some muscle. So about a week later my brother and hubs put it in place.
7. filled with water. Voila!
