[Shop-talk] Trying to get tree stumps to rot

[Eric J Russell]

Did you drill some holes into the tree stumps? That will hold the 
chemicals and help keep said chemicals wet.

Have you considered renting a 'stump grinder'? One can get rid of a 
lot of tree stumps (well, how big of a diameter are we discussing?) 
for a half-day's rental fee.
