Once Epsom Salt and water mixture has been made, several holes need to be drilled into the stump for the solution to be correctly applied.
Before drilling, you should cut off as much of the top of the stump as possible. This is because the chemicals added to decompose a tree stump are more effective on fresh wood.
The drill holes should be spread a few inches apart, spread evenly along the top perimeter surface of the stump. Room permitting, the holes should be roughly 1 inch wide, 12 inches deep and 3-4 inches away from the back edge.
More holes can be drilled from the rim of the stump at a 45-degree angle. These holes can connect to the other holes to speed up the rotting process.
