Title: Re: [NAFEX] Re:Lye for Tree Stumps
As of 12/31/02 the local farm Co-Op can no longer get nor sell ammonium
nitrate due to 9/11. It was my fertilizer of choice. I'm not pleased
to put it mildly.
Try a chemical supply house for concentrated acetic acid.

Stumps
Can't help but wonder if it may be harder to get stuff like
this (including the nitrate fertilizers) because of the use of it in home made
explosives by terrorists. Anyone had any experience with that in buying
the stuff?
Removal is fairly easy if one bores holes in the stump and
pours a little sodium or potassium nitrate/niter/saltpeter in the
holes. (used to be able to get it for preserving hams and bacon, but now
a chemical supply house would be your best bet.) In < a year,
the stump can be burned or left to disintegrate in < two
years. Can't get dynamite w/o a bunch of red tape but that was the
preferred method a few years back. Sometimes you have to buy new
china for your grandma if you use too much.(emperical knowledge) A
quarter-stick for a fence-post size pine is about right. Must be
tamped hard and deep. Never blow stumps on Sunday, especially in the
morning, in the Bible Belt. Maybe ammonium nitrate fertilizer would
work in lieu of saltpeter?? Add some sulfur and saltpeter to a
burned stump and you have black powder.
