The message
from "anne" contains these words:

Does Roundup watered over all area kill tress aswell, ie... the Roundup
will
only be "hitting" the base of the tree trunks. I've follwed the recent
thread re this and I've decided to still use it, but wondered about
trees?
Because I won't be hitting the leaves as it were. New allotment is the
situation.

Thanks all - response or otherwise.


Needs green stuff to be effective. Often used at the base of trees to
keep a circle of weeds down whilst tree is young. IMHO, no problem just
be careful with it.


OK thanks, that's great. I wonder why people plant "non fruit trees" in
allotments. They create shade, take up a lot of space and you can't plant
anything near them because of the roots. All allotments around here seem to
have one huge tree at least and always in the most inconvenient place it
seems.
