[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1821783, member: 12607"] If you're gonna be drilling holes and pouring stuff in to accelerate stump rotting... urea or ammonium nitrate is the way to go. Nitrogen availability is the 'rate-limiting' factor in decomposition of woody material. Salt will not accelerate decay... though the cows may lick the stumps a lot. I suppose ammonium nitrate application could pose potential risk if cows have access to those stumps. I've seen Amish/Mennonites back a manure spreader up to large oak stumps, cover them with manure, and within a couple of years, they've rotted enough that they can push or pull them over quite easily.
