Put some food coloring in your butter milk, and sell yourself as a purveyor of a secret miracle potion for stumps.
There is still money to be made here.
Lets everyone drop this thread. Quietly
 
Time, gentlemen, time. All of these home remedies take a lot of time, and not everyone is willing to wait. For those folks, there are stump grinders.


I guess I'll have to try buttermilk on some of my soon-to-be stumps...

It's got to be cheaper than septic additive!

I'll let you all know if the septic stuff works. I've drilled, dosed, and covered up 3 stumps now. One is oak, one is alanthus (yech!), and dunno about the other.

Come next spring, I may be renting a stump grinder to finish the job. :D


I'll be renting the grinder. The septic stuff was a waste of time. Got some soft wood (max 1/8") around the holes. Some holes, nothing. Some stumps were covered in plastic, some just with dirt.

No difference.

I may try the buttermilk sometime, but my current crop of stumps is going to get the grinder treatment.
