Root training

Recommended Posts

Watching Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 1 and came to a scene where some wizards grow a bridge over a river. Idly wondering why that couldn’t actually be done. People train willow into arches etc. You could plait roots from riverside willows (or whatever), build a frame for them to follow. Would they need watering or perhaps cladding in earth and/or burlap?

Could be a nice project for someone patient. Anyone seen anything like this?

Nice. Thanks. Short thread.

I think it's great when a brilliant idea you have suddenly gets confirmed by hundreds of years of people already doing it. I invented sole veronique once, before discovering that someone else already had.

 

It gives you the reassurance you need to keep thinking of other ideas.

I've retrospectively invented all sorts over the years: lifting hydrofoils, the recumbent bicycle, supercharging steam engines, crème brûlée.
