Cut a 3cm slice (cap) from the top of the stump, then either cut a ring around the cambium layer or cut a lattice into the top of the stump. Carefully pour in some Ammomium Sulphamate (available online) then nail the cap back on like a lid. This will accelerate the rotting process and your stumps should be easily kicked apart after 6 months or so.
Hope this helps!
