Took about two hours in three sessions, quite a lot of digging, the use of both (borrowed; thanks rmc28) axe and mattock, and some blisters on my hands; I'm very thankful that leylandii don't have tap-roots, I'm not sure what I'd have done in that case.
Now all I have to do is fill in the hole where the stump was, and I'll never trip over it again. Is rotting wood a good fertiliser?
You know, your name scans in the same number of syllables as "Lizzie Borden", so the first thing I thought when seeing that picture was "TW, with an axe..."
Absolutely. You would have to chop it up into small chunks and keep it in your compost heap for a couple of years. Alternatively, if you have a woodlandie bit of garden, tuck it under a shrub and allow it to provide natural habitat for woodlice and fungus etc and watch it breakdown over the years.

Good thing it was just a tree stump!
