[Spikey DaPikey]

Bleach in the holes would also kill it off.....

If it outside you door no need to resort to chemicals just snap off every new shoot as they appear. A tree stump never regrows in a field with sheep in it. It may keep putting weaker and weaker shoots up for a year but it's reserves gradually deplete if it does not photosynthesize, don't let it get any leaves out and it will soon be dead.

Surely the best option it to get the council to dig it out. If they damage the wall they are obliged to fix it.

yeah but it'd take them 2 years and hundreds of thousands of pounds of court fees for them to realise that its their responsibility

Saltpetre is used to help along the decay process in tree stumps.

Yeah, if it had been last week we'd probably have been on the national news.

do`nt drill it as it will do bugger all ! cut around the cambian layer making a small trench and spray round-up in it. or place road salt...other options are to grind it out(hire a stump grinder or get a tree surgeon to do it) or get some-one with PA1+PA6(spray tickets) to spray timberal on it. this is the best chemical on the market for the job. so i would just as a good local tree surgeon or land scaper to do it, should cost between £10 to 15 ponds.

all the best
