The message from David in Normandy contains
these words:

I don't know if that stump killer
is any good - what's it called? Something like SBK?

That's Shrub & Brush Killer. I've never had much success
with the stuff...


I've used sbk on elder and it worked well. A mixture of big old and
medium sized trees - all cut down to good sized stumps. I think the key
is to drill lots of holes through the bark and into the timber - then
'inject' the sbk into the holes. Did this nearly 3 years ago and
haven't had a squeak out of them (or any new shoots nearby) since - and
the remains are rotting away nicely.
