I read you can buy mushroom plugs and grow mushrooms (to eat) and it
slowly gets rid of the stump. I am not sure stump killers actually rot
it away and its basty stuff (you have to bag it up to stop it running
away) Some tree companies do stump grinding. (I left mine for the
beetles to live in)


I bought some mushroom plugs for one of my stumps - they come with strict
instructions that they must be used on freshly cut wood - you can't just
bung them on any old stump.

Mine were special ones for conifers, as I had a leylandii stump to deal
with. No sign of any mushrooms yet - I think it's about a year now since I
added the spores, and I really did follow the instructions to the letter
:-(
