Ugh. The tree runner with leaves is getting bigger and I ripped out a second one a short while ago. And having accidentally cut through roots to plant in my own yard as well, it’s very likely going to start growing them up in my actual back yard.
I’d dab them with roundup to keep these contained if it wouldn’t risk landing me in hot water by killing the entire trees.
Trying to improve my space has backfired and I’m feeling seriously discouraged. Fuck me for wanting to plant a few small things of my own huh.
Wondering if it’s worth bothering
raised beds with wicking. Or save up and have a look at the georgie units, they're a bigass size.
Contained, less watering fussing, no roots to bugger around with. Much easier to handle when low on spoons.
All sounds kind of expensive. And I still have other people’s crap invading my property :(
