How to get rid of a tree stump?
I just had a tree taken down. It has a 24 inch stump that is close to the grass. How do I get rid of the stump? My neighbor told me that Stump Rot compound that you get in the hardware store does not work.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Most tree stump killer brands are made of powdered potassium nitrate, which speeds up the rotting process. You simply pour the granules into drilled holes and fill the holes with water. The stump will become pretty spongy after four to six weeks.

Hello. The approach may depend on the size and tenacity of your stump and your physical enthusiasm.
Wack it out with sledgehammer, wedge, maul and or mattock. If its rotted it should be much easier than a new stump. Digging them out is the best solution. When we were placing an irrigation line in —we did find a reciprocating saw helpful with root removal in addition to the digging with pick ax and mattock.
In the past we’ve tried drilling out the stumps, attempting to burn them, and using a Stump out root disintegrating chemical on a large willow tree and found it not to be very helpful. On subsequent sizeable trunks we’ve been calling a professional stump grinder and having the issue over and done with in less than an hour. On smaller cedar stumps we leave them for a matter of time and hack away with sledge hammer maul wedges till it breaks up.
I did recently see they do rent out two different sized hp -stump grinders at my local Home Depot Tool rental. It can be pretty physically intense work, it’s easier to call professional unless you’re up for a challenge.
Best wishes with your tree stump elimination efforts.
You can drill holes in it and pour epsom salt to accelerate the process.
If you have cash to burn, just hire out to a stump grinder. How big was the tree? Might be worth it for instant gratification. If you are patient, you can use agricultural strength vinegar.
I tried the stump rot and drilled into the stump. It did nothing, neither did salt.. I finally found a tree company that would grind the stump for $50. Well worth the cost
