Tree stump advice
"Kevin" wrote in message
...
I want to landscape the final area of my garden previously covered in bark
chippings.
Two years ago I felled two large Leylandii trees - the stumps, 18 inches
in
diameter, remain. They are a few inches out of the ground and attempts to
kill them with crystals added between the trunk and bark do not appear to
have been successful.
I want to lawn the area and plant apple trees.
Will they survive/grow?
How can I remove the stumps? There is no room/access for one of those
fancy
stump removers.
Any advice would be appreciated please?
use a hammer drill and the longest & widest drill bit you can find. Drill as
far down as you can go and do this a number of times. Fill the holes with
potassium nitrate and wait. It will take some time but will eventually rot
the stump out.
