Does this work and how much salt would you use for a 8' diameter
stump?
TIA, Art.

I don't think the salt will help any. It might help kill the tree if it
is not already dead.

I would suggest two options. First get someone with a grinder out there
and do the job in minutes (or rent one and do the job in a few more
minutes). Second let it rot in place. Drilling a few holes in it helps as
will covering it with general yard compost (leaves, grass clippings ect.)

I simply drilled some holes in my stump and then pured gas into the
holes and lit it. I burned for hours and when finished it was very
weak and choppable? (word) It smell good after it burns for an hour
or so.
