How to Kill a Tree Stump FAST with Stump Remover (No Grinder Needed) | DIY Potassium Nitrate

If you have a tree stump in your yard and don’t want to rent a stump grinder, or like me, you CAN'T use one for whatever reason- this method is an easy DIY solution. In this video I show exactly how to remove a 14-inch tree stump using Bonide Stump-Out Stump Remover and a simple drilling pattern that helps the stump remover penetrate deep into the wood. Materials Used: 12" Drill Bit - https://amzn.to/4rhiwDy Bonide Stump Out - https://amzn.to/4srva3P Red Funnel - https://amzn.to/4uhoXta The key to making stump remover work is drilling the holes correctly. I use a 12-inch long 5/8" drill bit to create staggered holes across the top of the stump and additional 45-degree angled holes around the base. These holes allow the potassium nitrate in the stump remover to soak deep into the stump and accelerate the natural decomposition process. In this video I cover: • How many holes to drill in a 14" stump • Why staggered holes work better than straight rows • Why angled holes at the base help reach the root flare • How to apply stump remover properly • How long stump remover takes to break down wood This is a simple DIY method that works on many types of tree stumps and can save you the cost of renting heavy equipment or hiring a stump grinding service.
