I recall reading about some chemical that gets applied to tree stumps to
make them decay fast. Anyone know what this stuff is?

Normally I dig around them and build a fire on top, but I have one too
close to a building.


- Nitrogen Fertilizer: drill holes in the stump with a spade bit, wet
it well, cover with fertilizer and then cover with black plastic

- 18 ton truck and yank it out

- Thermite
