And these trees just magically appeared full grown and in your way?
Verily, an evil deed committed does not immediately bear fruit, just as milk curdles not at once; smouldering, it follows the fool like fire covered with ashes. Balavagga (the fool) The Dhammapada |

[snip] More cultivated ornamentals and certainly any annuals (like most veggies) are not happy and will not thrive in these conditions, needing more sun, soil fertility and water than a location adjacent to a large tree can provide. I can attest to that, the soil level with my conifer's dripline is very dry. So I water it a lot and the garlic seems ok. We'll see how the jalapenos do this summer. I won't get into the legal issues involved in consciously damaging or killing a tree located on another's property - they differ regionally and can be significant. Deal with what you have - that is one of the challenges of good gardening. Plant the veggies or whatever in an area well away from the root system. Raised beds may work well. Yeah, I saw in a book they did that by putting a layer down that kept the roots out and then raised the soil over it. Can't remember the details though. It was an Aussie book on soil. My neighbour has giant NZ flax as a fence break and they are a pain in the neck. For too big for suburbia and roots everywhere - just by the best bit of garden soil there was. -- Cheers, Loki [ Brevity is the soul of wit. W.Shakespeare ] not docloki |

I got so peeved with 2 pines on my own yard killing all the other
trees that I had them removed. The needles release toxins, I understand. --SP-- http://www.briandunnettandsons.co.nz/ http://www.clocksandbarometers.co.nz/ http://www.nitro.gen.nz |

I'd love to have a big tree in my neighbourhood. If that corner of
your yard is unused, consider a raised deck with a barbeque, patio furnitures and a hammock. Imagine eating fruit ices in summer shaded by conifers. But, mend the fence first. What climate zone are you in? ChrisC wrote in message . .. On 2 Dec 2004 14:51:43 -0800, (Beecrofter) wrote: No I'm living with my mother now. Whos to old to take care of the garden.

I shall plant them on the other side where the is no overgrowth. That way not damaging the trees. Still is unfortunate that those trees are so barricaded against the fence that the whole side of the fence is starting break under the pressure. |
