If you just wanted to get rid of the stump instead of all the above
4th of July Darwin Award stuff, I've done it successfully several
times. You just need several months patience.

If the stump is not dead, kill it. There are stump killer compounds
available, although I've not used them. Mainly you don't want any
water movement in the stump for the next step.

When you're sure the stump is dead, use a brace and bit to drill 3/4"
to 1" holes vertically as deep

Surely, to make sure the stump is dead, a 15 metre hop is the best of
bets? G

OK. In Oz, the trees _love_ being left as a stump.

They do not die.

Eucalypts have a whole industry based on this fact.......called
chip/paper/agroforestry. Perennial crop.

In my case the emphasis is on the aggro....bloody things!

Hardwoods. Fire survival history over the last 50(?) thousand years.
Fall over? Regrow!

_Kill_ them (poison. ..poison). Remove them to a depth of about 1
metre. Or you _will_ have them back! Called "regrowth". Regrowth
bashing is an Oz industry in itself.

DAMHIKT.

Next year.... DAMHIKT. :-

We are not even allowed to buy amm nitrate now (btw would that work?).
Not a hope on Pot ntirate!
