STUMPED
Ian
We are struggling with the removal of a 60cm (2ft) circumference tree stump. My husband cut the tree down over two years ago and the thing is still there staring at us. Have you any suggestions? D.N. Bridgend

There are a few products available on the market for rotting down a tree stump. Some of them involve drilling holes in the stump of the tree and pouring in nasty liquids. Others involve simply pouring a granulated powder on the top of the tree stump, covering with a weighed-down plastic bag and leaving. They will take a while, especially as your particular stump is of a 60cm (2ft) circumference. Some people prefer to plant rambling climbers such as an old rose or honeysuckle and make a feature of the decaying wood. The Convent in Buncrana has made very attractive features of their stumps by planting fuchsia shrubs in them. If all that you want is to get rid then get your hands on a grinding machine to reduce it to ground level.
