   Hi All,   
      
   Okay, I know a bit misleading subject line, but ...   
   You were thinking back hoe, dynamite, swearing, etc..   
      
   I have little trees growing all over the place.  I think they   
   are either cotton wood or some kind of aspen.   The have very   
   long tap roots.  If I pull them when the are 6" tall, I can get   
   the 10" tap root too and that is the end of them.   
      
   BUT, if they get any bigger , I can not get the tap root out   
   and they keep growing back and back and back.   I have   
   tried cutting them flush to the ground.   I have tried   
   stripping all the bark and leaves off.   And they adore   
   vinegar.  They keep coming back and back and back.   
      
   So I have a bunch of little 1/4" to 1/2" stumps that   
   keep regrowing.  How do I kill off these stumps.  (I do   
   not want to use roundup do to my wife's chemical   
   sensitivities.)   Small firecracker?   
      
   Many thanks,   
   -T
