Hamas big reduction/pruning thread!

[Tony Croft aka hamadryad]

Going off on a nurdy tangent here a bit Tony, but talking about mowing under trees.

 

I noticed while mowing yesterday that under six small trees the grass was three times longer and has got a head start over grass out in the open.

 

Thinking about it, rather than putting it down to leaf little around the tree, I summized it might be down to there being more Myochorzial Fungi around the roots than in the open areas therefore a more abundant supply of nitrogen ??

 

The new and vigorous grass growth seemed to be the exact shape of the root area in my minds eye of course

 

Am I thinking on the right lines ??

 

Yes dean, not Nitrogen though!

Lots of people want a smaller tree and as afar as I know a reduction is the only thing that will produce that.

How about remove and replace? Haha
