How Close to a Tree will Veg Grow?
Hi all
As the subject, we have a copper beech tree in the N-E corner of our back garden. Its location means that it hardly affects sunlight, the plot seeing about 6 hours of afternoon sun in summer. Obviously, the tree will pull moisture and nutrients from the soil, but if I replenish these, should veg grow OK in close proximity. We are intending to reduce the height and spread from 30-40 feet down to about 20' in the near future. Also intend to remove lower branches to open the area. Will raised beds help - the type with timber plank surround maybe 18" deep? I am thinking these might avoid root infested soil and provide a fresh start in terms of soil, nutrients and the like. TIA Phil |
