Bayer Tree Stump Killer


A farming trick around here (likely used elsewhere too) is drill a few
1" holes a few inches deep in the stump, fill them with nitrate
fertiliser and leave for a couple of months.
Sceptical of this, I tried it and found it works rather well. Stump
dies right off, rots away nicely.


That's what we did for the Robinia stump, except I filled the holes with
glyphosate. I've got cherry suckers in the garden that will get similar
treatment this weekend.
