Burning out tree roots
"Jaques d'Alltrades" wrote in message

The message
from
(P Verstege) contains these words:
What did work was to excavate around the stump and then drill numerous
holes through the stump as far sown as possible. Then I snapped it off
and filled in the hole. a Lot of work and only a small stump.
But what if Iwant to plant another tree there? Will the rotted
(rotting?) roots kill off any new roots? That's why I was thinking of
burning them out - so I can clear the ground for something else
No, but it might attract honey fungus.
A healthy, woundless growing plant is unlikely to succumb to honey fungus.
