try mounding the stump with charcoal, pour a can of charcoal fluid on it and light.
when it has burned down, no flames, mound dirt over it so it just smolders for a few
days. when it doesnt FEEL hot anymore, scrape some of the dirt away and feel for
warmth. when it isnt warm anymore then remound with dirt and water every day to
increase moisture for bacteria and fungus rotting. Ingrid

Almost 2 years ago, we hired a tree company to cut down a 60 foot high
Chinese Elm with 24 inch trunk. Remaining stump is 3 inches high which
they filled grooves with chainsaw fuel. They guaranteed this would kill
the stump and prevent any regrowth. Not only has the stump NOT DIED,
but constantly produces "hundreds" of new fast growing twigs all year.

Is too costly to have stump killed by grinding company.
I sure could use suggestions for low cost methods and materials to
kill this sturdy aggressive stump. The tree stump and new seedlings
grows very rapidly, raised and cracked the city sidewalk and now is
producing seedlings all over my property in lawns, flower beds.

Thanks, Dave_s
