Default How to kill conifer roots


"Merlin" wrote in message
...
I have spent a nice Sunday afternoon cutting down a 3 meter conifer
to ground level and it is not possible to dig out any lower without
digging up the public foot path or my tarmac drive.

What I want to do now is to kill the stump and root system.
The stump is approx. 30cm across.
I hunted around the garage and found a old bottle of SBK,
so I drilled in some holes and poured it in the stump.

What else would help or speed up the process?


Cover the holes into which you put the SBK with something removeable so you
can give the holes another fill of the stuff from time to time.
