Hi all.
My first time here. Never had a garden before.
During partitioning of the shared garden it was necessary to
remove two smallish trees to make room for the pathway.
Trees were cut down and the remaining stumps dig out
leaving holes in the ground size of 1.5 meters wide and 0.5meter deep.
Should the remaining roots be poisoned? If yes, how?

Depends whether or not the remaining roots show any signs of life. If in
doubt ammonium sulphamate sold as "rootout" should be OK. Handle with
care it isn't something you want to get on your skin. Alternaively
glyphosate any suckers that come up for a season or two.

The only information about killing roots I could find relates
to killing whole tree stumps.
Thanks in advance

Be sure to compact the soil well in the lower part of the hole or it
will sink within the year leaving your path uneven. It probably will do
this anyway.

Thank you very much for advice. I may sprinkle a bit of "rootout"
just in case

Thanks again
