I'm needing to remove a pinetree stump down about 36" or so below ground level. It's about 18" in diameter and currently is flush with ground level. The reason I need to remove it is that the landscaping was built around that tree and it's the perfect spot for a new tree.
Wondering if a special bit could be fabbed for drilling down into the stump a series of holes that would make easier removal of the remains. I'm thinking in terms of taking a small diameter auger, say 4", and welding a sharpened cutting bit on the end something on the order of a spade bit or maybe even a forstner style.
No, I can't burn it out as we live in town and TNT probably wouldn't be an option either. I know of the method of removal using fertilizer in drilled holes but that takes a while.
All suggestions appreciated, even humorous ones.
