I was being careful--NOT turning over the shovel-fulls. just digging straight in to cut up some of the fine tree roots that have invaded this bed. Well! it became a bigger job than planned--as usual. Did not want to actually turn over the soil just now--but just cut up the roots--but after about half the bed, it became imperative that I hand sift through each shovel-full to remove all these roots. I am SOOOO upset--that the tree roots have invaded this bed. It has now become a "lost cause" to what I had intended this bed to be. It was obvious that there were serious breaches in my commercial, double layer of weed-block. So--a new "YUK" bed is in its infancy! Here are the pulled up roots I just threw out behind me as I was digging.... And--a closer pic of them--these are so tenacious....they go everywhere--and then become bigger roots. It is impossible to keep up with this..... --Pulled up roots on lawn next to the bed... --Closer look at these "feeder roots".... |
