There is an old tree stump in the garden which SWMBO has decreed shall
be removed. I'm not fussed about what happens below ground, it just needs to be pretty well flush with the surface; so it's not worth the expense of having it removed properly by pros, or hiring an mini digger or something (although it would be a nice excuse; I've always wanted a go with one...!) Last time I needed to do this, with a small stump about 6" across, I used a 25mm spade bit to honeycomb the stump, then pulverised the remnants with an axe - it vanished quite quickly and easily. However, this beast is about 18" diameter and 8-10" high, so might take some more doing. I favour a similar approach, and am looking for a suitable attachment for my SDS drill this time, basically to shift as much wood as possible from the bulk before I attack it with an axe as before. I'm thinking maybe http://www.screwfix.com/app/sfd/cat/pro.jsp?ts=25503&id=37471 or http://www.screwfix.com/app/sfd/cat/pro.jsp?ts=25583&id=37074 Any other suggestions? Thanks David |
