Hi everyone,

I have a problem with plants in one particular bed in my garden. They
tend to not last very long or growth is stunted. Have just pulled a
few up and they all have the same problem in that the roots have
formed into a ball at the base of the plant. There is no outward root
growth they are all knotted together in a ball. Is there a disease
that causes this or is it because the soil is too clay like? Any
advice welcomed as nothing seems to thrive in the bed at the moment
apart from shallow rooted weeds!

TIA

Ian
