    I felt the same way, I removed a large stump not long ago and I used a chain saw to cut the tree down and chop the limbs up, I used a shovel and dug around it, going down about 4 feet. Used an axe to chop fire wood sized pieces off of it. Used a pick axe to chop through or clear dirt from around the roots and an 8 foot pry bar to pry parts of wood from the stump and also on breaking the roots apart. took me about 2 months, but I did not work on it everyday, still was a lot of work and sore muscles. I still have 7 to go.

    I like how you call them volunteer trees, you can harvest a lot of seedlings and branches for mulch and compost. - I would let a part of the stump stand, cut into it to create some openings, and water it and plant mushrooms. Likely it would need some larger plants nearby to create shade. A little nitrogen rich compost around to compensate for the decomposing wood.

    Not trying to take away from a good video but consider this. USE the trunk for leverage! While you have anywhere from 4 to 15 feet of trunk, clean away the roots with a shovel. Tie a rope high as possible on the trunk and with that leverage pull where you want the trunk to fall. Pull on the rope with an anchored come-along, winch, truck hard point or just have someone pull the rope. While the roots on the opposite side of the trunk are being pilled, cutting with axe or chainsaw is much easier. As you cut through roots it will get easier on subsequent roots. You might try different angles pulling the rope to get to other roots. Eventually the roots break pretty easy, again because of the leverage.

    This isn't a trick but this is how my Swedish grandfather split granite: wait till winter or till temperatures are under 0°Celsius. Drill a dozen holes or more about 2-3 cm wide, as deep as you can, ideally not less than 15cm but the deeper the better. Fill with water and then the water will freeze and split the stump just like the frozen water popped off slices of the drilled granite. When the thaw comes pluck out what you can; then wait till spring by which time several thaws and repeated freezes will have so shattered the stump it won't be hard to remove the rest. 😀 Obviously only works in climate zones with freezing temperatures... 🙄 Cheers!

    It isn't just buried...the Epsom Salts is not only good for making you shit your arse off...the Sulphates (Sulfates to Yanks) break down the Cellulose in the green wood and they eventually become organics. The Magnesium will help fertilise the soil. The alternative is to break your back when levering the stump out after roots are dug up and cut off.

If near your house roast hot dogs or something. I’ve used this method to clear a field for planting grass for more pasture. It will burn the stump 3-6 inches below the surface.

    I used a pressure washer on a stump. It stripped away the dirt and debarked the stump and roots. Bored it out with drill. Then used a mixture of boric acid and Epsom salt. The salt draws out moisture and the moisture makes the acid work to rot the stump.

    Epsom Salts is the old common English name for Magnesium Sulphate and it is the Sulphates that create acidic conditions and break down the Cellulose in wood. Magnesium acts as a fertiliser.

    @@arlenebowers326 Have you ever consider burning them out? If you have a decent chainsaw, you can slice into the top similar to this video, and then light a fire on top with sticks. The fire travels down into those slices in the stump, and ends up burning the it from the inside out. Obviously, that method doesn't work if your stumps are close to buildings

    Wow, looks better than I thought it would. Can't even tell a tree was ever there. I'm having to romove trees (therefore tree stumps) along an old fence line, and there's wire grown into all the trees. Argh. What I'm having to do is cut the trees at a height above the fence line, then dig out each stump with a backhoe attachment that goes on my tractor. A small tree like that, I could totally tear out stump and roots in 5 minutes. But big trees are usually 4 hours per stump! P.S. Where's your wife from? I married a Filipina myself.

    The epsom salt MgS04 is a mystery to me but you say it works so I will try. Stumps take a long time to rot because they are mostly carbon. Speed it up with nitrogen and possibly phosphorous fertilizer like ammonium phosphate. The microbes will now have a more complete diet to do their work. You can drill holes in the stumps as well.

    Dan and Alice - Thank you for the video. I have used this technique in the past and it works. Another method would be to cut the tree trunk as close to the ground as you can (just like you did) then take the tip of your chain saw or an axe and dish out a bowl shape in the tree trunk then add a few BBQ briquets, ignite the the briquets and walk away... They will slowly smoulder without an open flame. You get the same results, just a little quicker. You can even cook lunch over the briquets while they destroy the trunk. Wood ash makes a excellent garden soil enhancer as well. Michael from Canada
