The best way would be to rent a backhoe or find someone who has one. Most of the time you can just put the bucket on the far side of the stump and just tip it out toward you. Anything else will be a lot of work and or mess.

 

dirt, you got video of you screwing anything up yet?

 

Rent a stump grinder. A backhoe works to, but you risk digging into buried lines.

 

I like how the bumper just basically said, "F*CK THIS!" and just fell off.

 

drill holes and pour buttermilk on the stump and in the holes...it draws bugs to it that will devour the stump...seriously...it's an old timer way to remove stumps...

 

from an organic gardening website:

 

Be VERY careful not to mix those ingredients though. Ever see what happens when you mix sugar and potassuim nitrate (fertilizer) and put a spark to it? Even more lethal would be diesel fuel and potassium nitrate or any hydrocarbon and KNO2 for that matter with an ignition source.

Smoke Bombs!

FWIW, Home Depot caries "stump rot' which is just a potassium nitrate blend with some buffers. Find some potassium nitrate, drill some holes and pour it in. This will accelerate the rotting process. If you look at bags of fertilizer you will see numbers like this 30-8-16. You want to find the fertilizer with the highest last number and then the first number. That is of course if you can't find strait potassium nitrate (available in small quantities on the internet and at most gardening centers).

 

DONE THAT.... FOUND OUT THE ROOTS WENT WAAAAY FARTHER THAN I THOUGHT.... WOUUND UP SPLITTING THE NEIGHBORS CINDER BLOCK WALL.. ABOUT 7 FEET AWAY

 

You can pick up potassium nitrate in a small amount at a drug store.

side note: I used to do this as a kid making smokebombs. Add a little sugar in a coke can and watch it smoke like crazy and the coke can become part of the street.

 

diesel and fertilizer makes a stump fly sky high!!!!!!
