Default Killing off a stump

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember Tim Decker
saying something like:

So, what is the best way to treat the roots, so they don't resprout. I
understand that ammonium sulphamate, which was sold as root out has
now been banned.


Common practice on farms round here is to drill a few 1" holes in the
stump and fill them up with fertiliser granules. In such concentration
it's a toxin, not a fertiliser.
