Your question was answered. I also gave you an alternative solution, which would be more beneficial to your lawn, as well as your trees. Apparently, you missed it (or you're determined to damage your trees). No, I don't need a lawn vac because pine needles aren't a problem. Sure they are. You just don't understand chemistry. That's cool. =) I don't need compost because the grass I'm transplanting comes with 3" of it's own "compost" - it's healthy grass with enough dirt underneath transplanted with it. Ok. Then why do you need to cut the roots? You should be able to just lay the sod right over them. It's the lesser of the two evils. You don't understand trees, either. This tactic has worked fine for me whenever I've tried it, and no it's not "magic" grass No shit? I was being facetious. and no the transplanted grass doesn't "suffer the same fate". It will, if you don't get a grip on the acidity. Of course, the falling tree could do more damage than the acid, I'll give ya that. He's determined to do it "his way" and he doesn't want to hear that it's not good for the tree to cut the feeder roots or that the grass will probably die anyway. He just wants to know of an easy way to do it. Jeffc. Go rent a sidewalk edger. cut the roots in the pattern you want and then use the sod cutter to lift the feeder roots in sections. Then put down your sod and watch the grass and trees die. I've never done this but I'm sure it will work. Why do people have nice trees and then insist on killing them because they don't like what nature does? |
