Sparky Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 How much? One is from a medium sized crab apple and the other is just a shrub I couldn't get out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twistedfocus1647545489 Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 If you don't find anyone to do it cheaply, have you considered the "Stump-Out" chemical method? It takes a few weeks to work, but I had good results the one time I used it. I think I actually have an extra bottle of it around here somewhere, though i think it was only $8 or less. http://www.gemplers.com/img/bonide-stump-out-160363.jpg In the end there's alot less leftover pulp in the ground than we had with grinding. The ground where we had our big tree stump ground out always holds too much water. It has to be all that pulp mixed in with the soil. You basically drill some holes in the stump, fill with the chemicals and wait for it to turn all fibrous. Then you throw some Kerosene in the holes and burn it or use smoldering charcoal.

Avenger1647545502 Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 Tannerite. Kidding, not in the city. And it isn't all that effective anyway. You can rent grinders at Lowe's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My neigbor used salt on 2 of his a couple of years ago. Basically he just drilled holes and dumped a whole fucking bag of salt on each one. It took months to break down as much as this stuff did in 3-4 weeks. End result was similar, just took a while longer. He probably spent about the same money on salt too, though I just remembered I had to spend an extra $7 on a long ass 1" spade bit. :dumb: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to have to give this a try. I heard to use diesel fuel, but it's not doing shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twistedfocus1647545489 Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 I should add that when I cut down the one I used stump-out on, I cut it almost to ground level, leaving just enough to get the side holes drilled into it. You can probably cut it to damn-near ground level and dig around it for drilling side holes if you're up for some digging. Less stump = less time, obviously.
