Finally got a stubborn willow stump out after it sat for a year

Tried everything on this thing, even rented a big grinder. What finally worked was drilling a ring of deep holes around the perimeter and filling them with stump remover granules, then just letting it sit for a month. The wood turned to mush and I pulled it apart with a pickaxe in an afternoon. Anyone have a better chemical they swear by for really old, hard wood?

Ever see those videos where people use salt to kill a stump? I read that plain rock salt dissolved in water and poured over a drilled out stump can work over a long winter. It's cheap but man, it takes forever and might mess with your soil. Your method with the granules sounds way faster for getting it done.

Honestly thought stump remover was a scam until I tried it.
