Killing trees which have tap roots.
I have a number of trees growing in my garden which were lopped right
down to just about 6" above the root. This act of wanton vandalism took place about two or three years ago. Now I have a waist high forest of pollards, for the want of a better word, which I would like to get rid of, permanently. How do I kill the roots without removing them and without killing the furry things which have taken up residence in and around the roots. Wendy. -- Something I read. ----------------------------------- George Bush says he talked to God, and God promised him victory in Iraq. Maybe. All I know is that the last time God talked to a bush we wandered around the desert for 40 years ... and, look, here we are, back in the damn desert again. ------------------------------------ |

The message
from Wendy contains these words: I have a number of trees growing in my garden which were lopped right down to just about 6" above the root. This act of wanton vandalism took place about two or three years ago. Now I have a waist high forest of pollards, for the want of a better word, which I would like to get rid of, permanently. How do I kill the roots without removing them and without killing the furry things which have taken up residence in and around the roots. Slow way: hammer copper nails into the roots. Quicker way: continually spray with glyphosate. Even quicker way: bore as wide as possible deep hole down the centre of the trunk, almost fill it with battery acid (Dilute sulphuric) and nail a piece of plastic across the opening. The plastic is to prevent harm to people and creatures, not part of the treatment. -- Rusty Open the creaking gate to make a horrid.squeak, then lower the foobar. http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/hi-fi/ |
