Impregnating a tree stump for burning out?

If you drill a vertical hole into the wood and pack it full of saltpetre, the rain water will dissolve it and it will eventually permeate the wood. This will encourage the wood to rot, as it supplies a source of nitrogen for bacteria, and will also make the stump easier to burn as it is an oxidiser. It's not a quick solution though. |
