It being a dull day, I decide to respond to what Koz

Just to change things a bit.....

I am currently working on a maple stump about 4 feet across with another
5 or 6 feet of major root. It's on a city lot near the neighbor's place
so I can't burn. For now I have been digging about a foot down and
chopping out the roots to get to only a main stump area left.


The only solution I can think of is to make it a "feature" - basically
bury it in dirt (or compost) and make a planter there. It will take a few
years to have it rot out enough, but ... the alternative is a lot of hand
work.
