QuestionI have a fine root problem in my soil it prevents moisture from getting to the roots of my plants.I dig it up,but it comes back.How can I get rid of this problem?
AnswerHi Anthony, I suspect what you are seeing is the mycelium of a fungus. It can indeed be thick enough to prevent water and roots from penetrating the soil. I would treat the area with a good soil fungicide. My preference would be Heritage. This is a granular professional product that your local garden center may have to order for you, but it is easy to apply. Or call one of your local lawn care companies for a quote. If you can, till the entire area before treating. You may also have to follow up with additional treatments for a while until you get it under control. Jim
