Different types of tree stump killer products are used in different ways, some more convenient and simple than others. Stump and root killers currently on the market are those containing glyphosate (e.g. Roundup Stump Killer,Doff Tree Stump & Tough Weedkiller and Westland Resolva ProTree Stump killer) or triclopyr (Vitax SBK Brushwood Killer).

For smaller trees the stumps can be pulled out with a winch. These can be hired by gardeners with the knowledge to use them safely. For leverage it is necessary to leave a good sized stub on the stump (up to 1.2m (4ft) high) rather than cutting it off at ground level. Using a drill, make the required number of holes around or in the stump or stem to a depth of 3.5 to 4cm. A specially designed drill bit is available from the Ecoplug supplier that permits the desired depth to be achieved. If this is unavailable, marking the depth on a drill bit with coloured tape will act as a substitute. Finally, you can use a chemical tree stump killer. These are relatively cheap and can be very effective. Once the tree stump is dead, it will need to be dug out.It’s a common misconception that chemical tree stump killers cause the stump to disintegrate. Instead, they kill the stump so that it won’t regerminate. If you want to get completely rid of the stump, you’ll need to remove it after killing it.

Pile about a foot of organic waste onto the tarp for good measure and wait it out. Spray the product, which contains the active ingredient triclopyr, until all exposed surfaces on the stump are thoroughly wet but not dripping. Also saturate any new shoots that may be growing from the stump. BioAdvanced is formulated to penetrate deep into the stump and work its way down to the roots; it will kill and hasten decomposition.
