well it was probably an option before you built a deck over it eh? :-) don't tell anyone but i've killed one of those willow stumps with kerosene in small regular doses. there wasn't deck over it though, and i was able to set it on fire eventually..it took better than a year to finally die. you can't let the kerosene get on the surrounding - 1
