Best way to kill bush/tree after being cut down?




Just moved into a new home. There was a huge thorny bush dragon devouring the mailbox. I slayed the dragon but it is trying to rise up again. How can I make sure it's not simple dead but "really most sincerely dead" [Wizard of Oz quote]? I've cut the stump closer to the ground but there are sprouts come out. grrr. Any tips on killing a tree stump for good are appreciated.

Used the dill holes method w/ salt & vinegar. Then hired a guy with a mattock who hacked it out. The End.
Drilling the holes and then filling them with salt should work! It may take a time or two.
Drill the stump with holes and fill with salt--agreed with the above!

Had a crab apple tree that kept growing back after cutting it down. Had a tree stump grinder come out and that took care of the problem no more crab apple tree popping up.
