my father had this huge cottonwood tree that he cut down in his yard. i am not sure why he planted it in the first place, as they are crap trees and prone to getting blown down. anyway, the thing had surface roots all over the yard that kept putting up shoots. he finally got tired of it, cut a big bowl shape into the stump with a chain saw and then put a couple or three pounds of that spectracide stuff into the depression. the roots were dead, and no more shoots, within a matter of DAYS. the bonus was that the trump seemed to decompose at a very accelerated rate.

plus, you can use any that is left over to make proper black powder!
