Tea or coffee from the Jungle Cafe at West Malling ! That will probably kill most living things ;D ;D ;D
-
You could always hire a tree stump grinder. :y
Failing that drill into the stump and fill with diesel as already stated
-
Simplest method i know is cut trunk level with ground and cut a cross into the top surface of the stump, about an inch (2.5cm) deep.
It will not regrow and will die and slowwlly rot away naturally

As said drill hole and fill with either old engine oil or old type creosote :y
What was that Mr Lovejoy said about putting his willie in ::) - don't think that'll work ::) ::), but my advice is to kick it first before "inserting" willie to make sure all spiders etc have vacated the hole ;) ;)

knock some copper nails into the stump :y
-
I drilled holes in mine and poured paint stripper in it , killed it a treat ::)

if you're going to dig them out - DON'T cut them down. Leave enough left out of the ground to provide leverage (and maybe somewhere to attach the tow rope?)
-
Copper nails will kill them.................eventually, takes a while though, took nearly a year to kill off grape vine stumps in my back garden, they just kept wanting to grow out from the roots!
For the most stubborn of the two I resorted to drilllng out the core and filling up with the equivalent of nitromors, less liquid so would stay in the core and not leach out too much.

you can paint the stumps with Glysophate (eg Roundup,Resolva) most weedkillers will do the job, especially if used neat. if you live near a watercourse or have porous ground do not use sump oil because if the environment agency trace it back it will cost a horrendous amount of bucks. !!
-
a good systemic weedkiller will do it round up is very good, drill a couple of holes in the stump and pour it in neat
for general weed brush then spray it as per bottle instructions. if it kills off the grass just replant with grass seed after a good rain shower

Roundup or Bayer:- either brush on or mix, drill and pour
You need something that will get to the root tips

i wish someone cut my mini trees down . 8 foot tall now ;D ;D
-
It's hard graft, but the best way is to dig them out , i did some at my parents old house , it was a lot of effort but a cleaner job in the end, can you get a mini digger near them?
-
Drill the stumps as deep as you can, hammer some cooper tubes into the holes and fill will diesel / Engine Oil.
