Reply To: Preparing a bed laden with tree roots

Hi Charles

Sorry for resurrecting an old topic.

Still not quite finished digging the trench to block invading tree roots. You mentioned that I’ll need to repeat this every few years as the roots will just grow back. Do you think a root barrier like this might be helpful in preventing a re-dig? They don’t come cheap but would be an investment if they work especially against a neighbouring Willow with its 2-3″ roots.
