How do you kill a tree stump after cutting it down?

Drill a whole into the stump big and pack rock salt into it , as itdisolves,add more than you can kick it apart whenthe salt kills it.

You can use epsom salts - here is a link that will give you all the information http://www.hometalk.com/diy/outdoor/garden/how-to-stop-stumps-from-growing-back-naturally-3462441 An alternative would be to pour diesel over it, but I personally would go for the epsom salts option.

Drill as much as the stump out and use rock salt,sump out or epsom salts.

Drill holes and fill with epsom salts. It will die.

Drill holes and add Stump Remover, Stump Out, etc...buy at a feed store or any place like Lowe's...follow direction on the container...Or...grind it down...Good luck! Or use Stump as a flower pot holder, light holder, etc...

Begin by gathering a few supplies: a drill with a large bit or an ax, Epsom salt, water, wax, a tarp, and a shovel. Proceed to drill several 1-inch-wide holes in the stump's surface, including its aerial roots, ensuring each hole is placed at a distance of at least three to four inches. While six holes are sufficient, bigger stumps may require more. Ensure you drill down to around eight inches to allow for deeper salt penetration. Alternatively, you may use an ax to make hollows in the tree stump. Next, directly pour Epsom salt ¾ of the way up in the drilled holes and fill the rest with water to keep the salt moist. Then, plug the holes with wax. Additionally, cover the trunk remnant with a non-porous tarp to minimize rain and sun exposure so that the roots do not sprout again and the salt does its job of rotting the stump. Repeat the procedure every three weeks until the stump is dead, and dig it out using a shovel.

If you don't wish to strain yourself by drilling holes, you can use the soaking method to remove a tree stump. In a bucket, combine Epsom salt and water in a 1:2 ratio. Generally, soaking a single tree base requires two gallons of water and one gallon of salt. Pour this solution all over the tree stump and its largest exposed roots. After drenching the stump, cover it with an opaque tarp or a plastic sheet, and add a layer of mulch on top to weigh it down. You can also sprinkle a nitrogen-rich fertilizer around the tree trunk's base to further boost its breakdown. Repeat this method at least once a week and chip away at the wood as it decomposes. Finally, pull out all the stump remnants, especially the root system, when it completely dries out. After disposing of the stump, you can repurpose the space by adding soil and sowing grass or flower seeds.

Hi Des, hope this helps you. Drilling holes into the stump will help the hot water kill deep and exposed roots. After you're finished drilling, carefully pour boiling water over the stump, making sure to cover the entire stump. The hot water will shock the system and begin the decomposition process using heat. Then you could pour some epsom salts in the holes and cover them ( to prevent them getting diluted by rain)to let them break down the stump.

This works for small and medium-size trees: We take a chainsaw, make several cuts to the roots, and then pour salt into them. It takes about a year, but you can then dig them up.
