Kid stuff.

48 oz can of fertilizer ( I know which kind), some diesel fuel and a
blasting cap, auger into a 20 stump, down 24", drop in can, walk
away...awaaaaay.... set it off.
One stump went up so high, we almost lost sight of it. The others that
farmer did just exploded into slivers.
That was a fun afternoon.
