I gave up and rolled it on it's side and buried it. Will this come back to haunt me and create a hole later? NHE , Aug 26, I've buried tree roots on my property about 20 years ago.

If just left on the surface it will rot faster than buried. Later than sooner, you'll have a sinkhole. Bumpsteer , Aug 26, I have a property that was logged off in an the stumps left behind are still pretty solid.
The boy was standing on the surface near his apartment in New Jersey where he had played for years. Just four feet down, extending down to 18 feet below the surface, was tree debris that crisscrossed back and forth in the soil. Over time, the soil above would fill the air pockets created by decomposing wood, creating a sinkhole that took his life. As a result, many city ordinances now prevent the burying of stumps and tree debris to prevent this type of problem. Tree Stumps Laws covering the disposal of trees and other wood debris vary greatly.
Some jurisdictions prohibit the burying of stumps, while others require a permit. Some jurisdictions will require a detailed site plan which must be filed with a local agency. While others allow stump burying with the approval of a state engineer. Legal stump burying should be researched with the local jurisdiction before anything is buried.
City administrators will typically be aware of laws local or State concerning the burying of stumps. Most of these products incorporate systemic insecticides like triclopyr to kill the roots and eliminate regrowth of suckers. Apply the chemical to the top of the stump within minutes of making the fresh cut, so the product is quickly absorbed into the remaining stem and roots. Bleach is not sold as an herbicide and should not be used on plants. The dangers outweigh the marginal benefits.
As outlined earlier in the rock salt segment, chlorine is indeed a naturally occurring element, but it poses problems to desirable plants when it is concentrated in the soil. The truth is that applying the high concentration needed to kill a tree stump would potentially expose adjacent grass, shrubs, and perennials to toxic levels of chlorine, and significantly raises soil pH.
Instead, save your bleach for more appropriate uses. There is no good reason to use motor oil to kill tree stumps instead of one of the aforementioned products. Plus, a quart of motor oil costs about the same as the Spectracide Stump Killer, which is a tested and proven product for exactly this purpose.
It is less messy to use and works fast. Diesel is popular among stump burners because it does not blow up like gasoline. As a chemical stump killer, it would likely have an effect as well. Tree stump remover granules, those made of potassium nitrate, specifically for the purpose of killing stumps, do not kill grass.
In fact, they are made of compounds that break down into usable plant nutrients. Fungi are the most effective organisms for breaking down wood fiber, so you could plug mushroom spawn into the stump. An old method of hastening stump decomposition is to cut grooves into the stump, pile soil on top, and cover the stump with a tarp to promote microbe growth.
The best thing to kill a tree stump is a systemic stump killer herbicide, such as triclopyr, applied directly to the fresh cut on the stump. Following the directions outlined above, it takes 8 to 10 weeks for the stump to die using the Epsom salt method.
Left to rot naturally, a large tree stump may take decades to die and decompose. In the meantime it may cause a variety of difficulties, from unsightly suckering to trip hazards to sinkholes and more. To get rid of the problem, you have three sound and effective choices. For complete removal, when every large root must go, grab your tools and dig the stump out. Stump grinding is an easy, fast solution for large stumps, but the lower portion of the tap root will be left behind to rot naturally.
Chemical methods for how to kill a tree stump cost less and require less time and effort. But take care to avoid unproven and unnecessarily risky home chemical treatments. Choose Epsom salts to kill suckering tree stumps, and make later removal easier. Simply leaving a stump where it is, unchanged, is possible. Within a few years, it will rot and be ready to be removed.
Unfortunately, some tree owners choose to bury their tree stumps. This is a mistake for several reasons. Tree stumps cause subsidence in the soil they are located in, and in the surrounding area. This is why tree specialists, such as arborists, recommend removing the entire stump along with the tree.
At least then, your only worry will be ensuring that you fill in the space left by the absent stump and its many metres of underground roots.
