and where could I buy it?

All you need is any cheap bag of high nitrogen fertilizer. Try not to get

it on
anything but the stump you are trying to decay. In addition to the

nitrogen
fertilizer, also put about a five pound bag of sugar on the stump to seep

into
the holes you drill. The carbon in the sugar will help expedite the

process



Yup....

In composting of woody material, nitrogen is needed--if not available in the
form of green clippings it can be always be added in chemical form.

Not sure about the sugar though, as in this case there is already plenty of
carbon in the stump.
