    I have a small tree that we cut down to soil level. How do I stop it from growing permanently as the roots are too deep to cut out.

    Thanks

    There is a weed killer which is specifically for removing tree stumps. ou drill holes in the stump and pour it in. You would need to look in a Garden Centre for it, not sure of the name.

    I've heard of one called StumpClear too - don't know if it's the same thing, or even if still available, as it was a few years ago I knew of it, and things have changed alot in those few years!
