Pros
Cons
Use a drill machine to drill holes in the stump every three inches and 10-inches deep. Also, drill holes from the side of the stump that intersect the holes on the top of the stump. Mix one part caustic soda and two parts water. Next, pour the solution on the tree stump and repeat the procedure 4-5 times. Alternately, you may use over the counter chemical tree stump remover that mostly use potassium nitrate and are readily available in the market. They mostly contain fine granules as they are easier to apply and more efficient than just liquid. However, make sure to choose the chemical that works for the particular species of the tree.
Pros
Cons
It requires specialised equipment and lots of hard work on your part. Depending on the size of the tree, simply dig a trench around the tree’s perimeter and use a pickaxe to cut the main root and then dig the soil around the stump so the soil loosens around the stump. Cut down large roots before you proceed to dig out the stump.
Pros
Cons
Cut down the tree to the ground level and drill a 10” hole in the middle of the stump as well as around the stump to make it hollow and let air in. Next pour kerosene into the hole and use a small piece of cloth to light fire to the kerosene in the stump. Continue adding inflammable sticks until the tree stump is all ashes.
Pros
Cons
Simply drill holes in the stump till at least 10” and apply a generous amount of Epsom salt over the stump. Then cover with leaves and dirt to rot and it will take a few months to remove the tree stump. Epsom salt draws out the moisture out of the soil, thus isolating the tree stump and drying it eventually causing it to rot. The other option is to mix a solution of two gallons of water with one gallon of Epsom salt to speed the absorption process. Then, pour it on the tree stump, the roots and soil nearby. Next, cover the stump with a tarp and repeat the process once a week until the stump rots.
