Hi Marcus
I have an allotment 7 feet away from a mature oak tree. Three quarters of the plot is directly under the tree canopy. It’s early days yet as this is my 1st season. I’ve put down cardboard and then some raised beds to grow veg in and am just hoping the tree roots take a while to penetrate. These photos of both ends of the same bed were taken earlier today. There’s broad beans, beetroot, carrot and spring cabbage. They’ve been under fleece to keep the wildlife and pigeon droppings from the tree off. Unfortunately by now the bed may look somewhat different as a few days ago a mole moved in and is causing havoc. You can see one of its tunnels in the gooseberry on the top right of the second photo. Just added third picture of lettuce. Fingers crossed!
