Re: Roots


Blair,
   I practice tilling around the AG plant , but keep a 3 ft distance as the
roots can be there . Just last night I had them almost 4 ft. out on the
south side of the plant. Occasionally hitting a few without any sign of
plant damage. They just keep growing and producing. A few years ago didn't
know this and got right next to the plant destroying lots of roots. Still
had a 416# pumpkin.  Good Luck and Happy Birthday America! Shellie
