It`s not logical to leave the stump there after all the effort to remove an entire tree. Below are some of the best methods to take down the stump yourself.
The best way to eliminate the stump from a tree depends on how long willing to wait.

Utilize a stump removal product from a commercial supplier, or just plain old saltpeter (aka potassium Nitrate) to soften the wood so that it burns slowly and thoroughly. With a drill that has 1 inch bits with a length of eight to twelve inches, drill deep holes in the top of the stump, spaced between three and four inches in all directions. To dissolve the stump remover, saltpeter, or another material, fill each hole with water that is boiling.
If the stump has dried completely, then burning it might be a feasible solution. It is more time consuming than digging, and may not thoroughly remove the roots beneath the soil`s surface, but it may provide satisfactory outcomes with less physical exertion. Contact the local fire department to find out any information about burning advisories in your region prior to attempting this solution.
