I have recently had a *large* Conifer that was too close for comfort
removed from the front of my house; trouble is, the stump remains.

What are my options for removing it?

The first, obvious, option that springs to mind is to attempt to dig
it up, but given that it's around 12-14 inches in diameter, I fear
that would be VERY difficult.


Its easy with a mini digger, harder with a pickaxe, spade and shovel..

I had one such - leylandii - and I simply built a series of bonfires on
it, removing the ash over and over. Whne it vanished below ground level
I covered it over.



Any suggestions?
