I've cleared a good portion of my backyard that was previously all scrub brush; vines, prickers, small tree shrubs, etc. Really dense small growth stuff. Now, I have small bundles of sappling stumps everywhere from where I pruned them to the ground. Previous experience tells me they are just going to grow back if I don't completely eradicate them. There are far too many to dig out by hand. Any suggestions?

In order for herbicides to work on plants they generally need to be growing, which isn't happening right now in the northern US. You mentioned stumps - there are stump killing chemicals you can use that will kill stumps of trees - something like that might work and can be obtained online.

Brush and stump killer applied full strength with a paint brush directly on the freshly cut stump will kill it completely. Get it at a garden center, brand names Fertilome or Hi-Yield, I thin Ortho has one also.
