|
|
I'm in the process of preparing a veg plot for next year. It won't be ready for this year as I have a lot of work to do with it, briars, buried rubbish etc. I had to relocate a young tree (here's hoping it will survive) and some of the roots are still in the ground, they are rooted deep. I was wondering if the roots will rot away naturally or will they regenerate and cause me problems at a later stage.  |

They will probably just rot away. Are they fiberous or stout? Your probably better removing the stout roots, they will be a hinderance as you work with the veg.

I have most of them removed and what's left is pretty deep. This is backbreakng work, I enjoy it though. I think the worst part was removing the jungle of briars. But once the rubbish is cleared it will be easy to work with.  |

It can depend on the type of tree you removed. with most it will not be a problem, but for the likes of Poplar they can resprout again and again. Any idea what the tree was Gerry? |

I'm not really sure what type of tree it is. All I can tell you is that it has small narrow leaves and grows very fast. I'll have to some research on trees.  |
