- 1). Fix a 1/4-inch drill bit to an electric-powered hand drill.
- 2). Steady the drill against the top of the stump and drill holes spaced 3 inches apart over the entire surface.
- 3). Slip on a pair of rubber gloves and pour one part sodium hydroxide and two parts water into a clean bucket.
- 4). Stir the sodium hydroxide and water to incorporate.
- 5). Immediately pour over the top of the stump so it seeps into the drilled holes. Repeat this process every day for approximately 2 weeks, or until the stump is soft enough to easily chop up with a shovel and remove.
