Hugh explained on 03/04/2004 :
Copper nails are your answer, or even a few bits of 15mm copper pipe.
Either bang a large quantity of nails in the stump - all over the cut
surface, or drill a few holes with a wood bit, and bang in lengths of
copper pipe.
Over the months the stump will rot and be quite easy to remove.
'A lot less bovver'
Hugh
I used copper to help kill off some stumps five years ago. It has
prevented them regrowing, but it has made little diffence to the speed
of the rotting of them.
