RE: problem tree roots
Theresa, I can't speak to roots any where but in a septic system. Mother
(unknowingly) planted a tree at the end of the finger system. That tree
shot up and was robust, to say the least. Dad spent years fighting those
roots until he found something called "Rid-X." Our first home here in Ohio
had tree roots in our lines to and from city water and sewer. Rid-X worked
well for that too. You might check with the manufacturer to see whether it
only inhibits tree roots or whether it truly is toxic to other plant roots
as well.
Blessings,
Bonnie (SW OH - zone 5)

HI all-
I am wondering if anyone knows tricks to prevent tree roots from regrowing
in unwelcome places (but without actually killing the tree). There are
several roots in the way of my retaining wall around the front yard, which I
will chop off, but am worried a million more smaller roots may sprout from
where I cut them off. I was thinking the filling in around them with gravel
mix (so there are low nutrients available- thus making it inhospitable for
regrowth). What do you all think? Any experience with this.
Theresa
