Just pour diesel fuel over the stump and set it on fire − it will be of little use. Yes, it will not give more growth, but it is unlikely to get rid of it completely. But some summer residents act differently. You can still set fire only to the stump itself, but this is a troublesome, although effective. From the stump, you can make a kind of Finnish candle or just punch two holes to ensure a long and effective burning from the inside. One hole is made in the center deep into the stump, and the second – horizontal − so that it intersects with the vertical one. A wick is placed in the vertical hole – a rag with kerosene − and ignited.
