To kill a stump it is easy, apply any poison, ammonium sulpamate is the

should read "ammonium sulphamate"

prefered method..usually you peel back the bark around the stump (or
the cork cambrium) and apply poison.....the other way is just prune any
growth back, the tree will run out of energy in the long term and
die....the best way of getting rid of it is, as has been as suggested
grinding it out...this is a good site for info on stump
grinders...www.stumpgrinding.eu.com

A.T. (resident in Denmark) wrote.- A "fun" method of removing stumps is to
drill vertical holes in said stump,fill with sodium chlorate, cover to keep
dry,wait a month and then light a small fire on the top of the stump which
has become highly inflammable and will burn right away. I was looking
forward to trying this but found that sodium chlorate,once used as weed
killer is no longer available in this country as it may be used to make
bombs ! Maybe it is still sold in U.K.

Sodium Chlorate is a powerful oxidising agent and as such is potentially
dangerous. It is still available as a weedkiller in the UK but the
material sold has sodium chloride and maybe other things added in an
attempt to reduce the inflammibility of any mixture. So maybe the fun
method won't be
much fun after all.
