jaipho Forum newbie - be nice! Posts: 1 Location: 4810 Registered: June 2009	severe rootbound garden Posted 427 days ago Hello everyone, Need some help please. In our rented home we have very severe rootbound garden beds. We have planted some plants in a couple of times, but they all die, and the bed is like digging into concrete. The beds are vacant apart from some palms and native trees. Does anyone know how to get rid of the root problem without killing the trees. Or any hardy ground cover that will never die. Be great to hear your thoughts.	0 0 Alert moderator
