Bush/Shrub Stumps

That is correct. Nothing will kill a boxwood root. The only thing a boxwood is good for is throwing a persons back out.

Salt peter will stop the root from growing or getting any bigger

You must apply the rock salt to the roots of the shrub. Dig around the shrub and pour the rock salt onto the roots. Alternatively, cut down the shrub first and then apply the rock salt.

Considerations

If the roots of the shrubs are interfering with your plumbing system, flush 1 cup of rock salt down your toilet twice a week. The constant treatment of rock salt helps kill the roots of the shrubs in your plumbing lines.

Benefits

Rock salt is a top choice for killing plants because it kills only the plants and shrubs you want. The rock salt dissolves after the next rainfall, without harming plants in the surrounding area.

I have had the shrubs/bushes cut down in front of my house. What is a great home remedy to kill the roots so they won't reappear next year? If there is not a home remedy, what can I purchase to kill these suckers? muhaha. Thanks!
