Bonide Stump-Out Granules - Manual (Page 3)

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Drill 1-inch holes straight down from top of stump
to depth of about 10 inches. Then into the side
of the stump, about 4 to 5 inches down from the
top, drill a 1-inch wide hole slanting downward
toward the bottom of each vertical hole. The two
hole ends should meet. It is important to drill the
side holes slanting downward so the liquid to be
poured into the holes won’t run out. Also when the
drill holes meet, a natural ventilation is created to
destroy the stump when ignited.
After holes are drilled as directed, follow this
procedure:
Pour 4 - 6 oz of Stump Out into each hole.
1) Fill holes with water.
2) Let stand for 4 - 6 weeks.
3) After 4 - 6 weeks, fill with kerosene or fuel oil.
4) Let stand until the kerosene or fuel oil is
completely absorbed into the stump.
5) Pour enough kerosene onto the stump to
ignite it.
6) The stump will burn with a smoldering red
glow down to the roots.
6A) As an alternative to kerosene or fuel oil you
may choose to ignite the stump by burning
charcoal briquettes on the top of the stump.
This method also will cause the stump to
smolder down to the roots and leave only ashes.
