I rented a stump grinder together with a bunch of neighbors for a day. $200 I think.
We ground every stump in the neighborhood.

Hmm? I don't know if anyone rents one around here but it may be worth looking into. After I grind it down to a shadow of its former self, I can dump the death juice on anything that's left just to be sure.

The best way to kill anything is to make it listen to Skip Bayless and Shannon Sharpe's show "Undisputed" for about 5 to 10 minutes. Don't go any longer than that, though. That would be torture, and that tree stump hasn't done anything to deserve that.

Since you have neighbors I guess the call Frazod suggestion is out.

I would think cottonwood being a soft wood would soak that poison right up and die away. You could always bury them in leaf piles to tempt the kids in the area to take them out.

If it was fall that would be a good bet. Watching the little bastards hitting my leaf pile/monster stumps followed by an air born Bo Duke would be quality entertainment.

well, at least it's less obvious than leaving old motor blocks by the curb covered with leaves...

Get an axe and splitting maul. Spend an hour each day chipping away at it.

The ladies will love your lumberjack appeal, as well as the muscles and self-confidence that come with it.

Drink plenty of whiskey as this will be a multi-day project.

You can rent a stump grinder and do it yourself rather than pay someone for their labor.

You can also place a BBQ over the stump and "burn" it for cooking. There is usually a loophole in burning laws for cooking or fires for warmth.

Tordon is available locally at Orscheln 's. Last summer it was cheaper there than indicated on the Amazon link you sent.

Remember, for it to work, it is best applied to fresh cut living bark. Pouring it on a dead stump will do no good. Find the living portion, make a cut, & apply. It will die.

The Tordon bottle is a squirt bottle with a three-hole nozzle. Just open, invert & squeeze. It is bright blue so you can see where you put it.

Good stuff.

Be a man. Go buy flannel and an axe. Chop that shit to non existence. Then pour what ever liquid you want on it and bury it. You will also get some exercise in.

My neighbors removed a stump by placing a burn barrel over it at night time and a leaf blower to the side of it. Thing was gone the next day. Most of the neighbors did not know.
