Chemical Stump Removal Tips For Tri-Cities
Start by cutting off as much of the stump as possible with a chainsaw. You will then need to drill 1-inch holes around the perimeter of the stump. After that, move inward by about 3 or 4 inches and drill more holes. Ideally, these holes should be between 8-12 inches deep depending on the size of the stump.
After all of this, drill additional holes around the sides so they meet with the other holes to create 45-degree angles. Pour liberal amounts of potassium nitrate into the holes then fill the holes with water.
After you’ve poured in the chemicals, wait four to six weeks or until the stump becomes very spongy. You can then use an ax to break up the spongy stump.
Optional #1: Saturate the stump with fuel oil or kerosene and allow it to sit for another week or so.
Optional #2: Ignite the stump and let it burn and smolder until it is completely gone.
