Re: [SHADEGARDENS]

Hi; I am not trying to beat a dead horse, but about tree root zones:

OK, I am supposed to increase the soil level, should I desire to do so, in
a tree's root zone by no more than 1 or 2 inches per year.  Picture this:
the tree has substantial knees, from which the soil level drops away, maybe
not dramatically, but at least significantly.  If I only increased the soil
level on about 1/3d the perimeter of the tree, in such a way as to not
affect or cover the knees or trunk, and only in the first few feet outward
from the trunk, could I increase the soil level by 4-6" instead?  Then it
has almost it's entire root zone left undisturbed, with just a yard-wide
swath over one section.  I hope you all are not tired of talking about
this; I really need to know.  Thanks.
