Default How do I suppress the growth ot tree roots?

I want to stop the growth of tree roots under my house.

I hear that copper nails, hammered into the root in question, will do this.

Can anyone confirm if this is true?


Don't know about the nails, but we had to stop the root growth from breaking up
the blacktop of our driveway. We removed the dirt on the affected side, down to
expose the roots and chopped them all with an axe. The trees are huge Scotch
Pines and it hasn't affected them at all.
