I recently removed a maple tree that had grown up between the neighbour's
lot and mine. Problem is that the tree has actually grown around the chain
link fence. I don't mean that the tree surrounds the fence, I mean that the
fence is in the tree. I removed as much as I can of the tree without
damaging the fence. But how do I get the rest of the stump out of the fence?

I can't burn it off, as the fence is vinyl coated. The only thing I can
think of is to drill as many holes as possible and let nature take it's
course.

Any suggestions?

Keep it moist and keep moistening it with a high nitrogen fertilizer
solution.
Wood is mostly carbon but if you provide enough nitrogen bacteria will
do all the work for you given time.
