The stuff I got at home depot says to drill 1" wide, 12" deep, and then

about 8" deep. My tree stump was something hard, so I used a corded

The idea is to drill holes and fill with a chemical to break down the
stumps.

Would a manual bit brace do the trick, or would you use a
battery-powered hand drill. What size? Length of bit, etc.? Thanks




And what chemical would destroy the stump?

Potassium nitrate.


and where could I buy it?

Any farm/fertilizer/lawn care/etc. store. Simpler to just buy any
standard fertilizer, especially sacks of ammonium nitrate. You buy
this stuff anywhere else and you will pay 4-5 up to 20 times the
price.
