... or dynamite as required

I was actually thinking of that. If I'd known how to get some, I propbably would have done it. It would have been very satisfying to see the explosion.

Fix a glass of Scotch, light the cord with the tip of a cigar, then take a seat out on the porch.

All things considered, that would not have been a bad way to go. It might have got me arrested, but I would like to have seen it.

Dynamite is a rural tool not a toy for amateurs.

Last resort and few stay close to observe.

Actually you could have cut it flush to just below ground level and poured some basic chemicals on it that are readily available.

Shortly it would be gone.

No drama, no sweat, just results.

And legal.
