Ep 193. Myths Truths and Protecting Roots

Mary Stone discusses Myths and Truths about Roots that extend well beyond the tree and shrub branches. She also explains how to protect roots by not parking on them, which compacts soil and can kill a tree. She reviews the functions of Transport and Feeder Roots and how to safeguard the Root Plate, which stabilizes trees and shrubs. Mary wraps up by sharing a personal story about generational loneliness and loss, encouraging listeners to reflect on their past and know that their roots, like those in nature, can heal and grow. Thanks for tuning in!Related Posts and Podcasts you'll enjoy:Myths, Truths, and Protecting Roots – Blog PostInsights and Interdependence of Trees – Blog Post Episode 88.
