Default Killing a tree stump?

wrote in message
oups.com...
Hi there,

I have recently removed two trees from my garden as they were becoming
too big and were blocking out too much sunlight in certain parts of the
garden. They are c8 inches in diameter and i have managed to chainsaw
my way through the stup so that only 4inches remains on the one and
about 10 inches on the other [due to its location it was difficult to
get any lower].

Is there anything i can do to stop them re-growing/spruting or is that
it?

I hope someone can advise.


If your stumps are very close to your home then you may want to avoid
rotting the trunk as it'll attract termites.
