Onoff Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 Other than "orange" can anyone take a stab at what colour fence treatment might match these panels that came from Selco: Chestnut, light brown? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProDave Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 I take it when the neighbour refused to share the cost of removing the stump, you just removed the bit on your side? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stump is going to have to come right out I think as it apparently keeps sprouting. It could be getting an oil drum incinerator over it and some barbecue charcoal!

Limited time/capacity with the battery saw. The neighbour took the tree down to that level but it had cracked one gravel board and pushed two posts over. He's offered in writing to pay to put the damage right as it's his tree so fair enough. I just hacked the stump to try and get a panel in as they have a small dog. The fence panel won't actually go in is the posts are pushed over. Reckon it'll be posts out and two new ones.

I'd cut it off level and drill half a dozen 25mm holes, 100 to 150mm deep and fill with neat glyphosate or SBK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saveasteading Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 You can kill a stump. Drill holes into it and pour in what is clearly called 'stump killer'. If it was all accessible you could spray the shoots a couple of times a year until it gives up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onoff Posted February 6, 2023 Author Share Posted February 6, 2023 I like the idea on YouTube. Drill said holes, fill with vegetable oil over the course of a year...keep it dry...then 🔥 I reckon diesel would be better... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the stumps had to be dead before that would work, as the rising sap stops the oil soaking in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saveasteading Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 I have bought a pack of stump killer for a hawthorn that refused to give in. Then it gave in, without trearment, so that has worked. Jeyes fluid is stated to do it. The blue colour looks lethal. Maybe it is diesel with added blue. Just googled it. Easy to find stump killer.

Onoff Posted February 6, 2023 Author Share Posted February 6, 2023 It needs sorting once and for all. The tree has been cut down and shooted / regrown before. The neighbour at one time was a bit against doing anything as it "was a lovely tree". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
