I have some trees growing right next to my foundation and I'd rather not spend a whole day digging them up. Everyone I've spoken to has their own insights and advice and the one person who I know who went to college for agricultural science is out of town for two months.
I've been told to cut them as low as possible then burn them with acid to kill the root.
I've been told to dig them out 100% and don't leave even a spec of the root system.
I've been told to dig 1' into the ground, pour tobasco sauce around the base, then rebury (no idea what this is supposed to accomplish)
I've also been told to introduce bark beetles to the new trees but I have other trees I'd rather not kill, so there's that.
Any ideas?
