Thanks a lot,

Did you lose actual roots or just soil? If roots just "fell off" then they were damaged anyway and weren't doing the plant any good. Or do you mean that the soil falling pulled some roots off with it?

Whatever, I don't suppose it'll make much difference to lavender. I've pulled lavender plants from out between paving slabs and had them grow OK.
