I have a 6" stump left from a tree I just chopped down (threatening to
break the drain chamber in my garden that's all of a foot away from the
trunk).

No idea what the tree was, but I need to ensure its complete and
permanent demise.

Apart from the old drill-holes-in-stump and pour in diesel/old-sump-oil
trick (don't have any mouldy sump oil to hand anyway) what would be a
good product to use?


Sulphuric acid. (Battery acid.)


I've got 20% HCl - would that be any good?
