I have a raised veggie patch that is being invaded by nearby tree roots. Would digging it out and lining it with weed mat solve the problem? Any suggestions would be much appreciated. I live on the south coast of NSW, Australia.

Dear Karen, Hi from another Aussie. I don't know if weed mat would be strong enough to stop tree roots, maybe you could ask at a nursery. Otherwise you might use old carpet or something stong like that. Goold luck.
Hi Karen
Tree roots will keep coming back. Either killing the tree or move the garden will be your only options to stop this problem.

What kind of tree roots? If not too large, prune much of the tree branches over the garden back to the main trunk, which should minimize the root invasion. Also, root feed the tree on the OTHER sides of the tree away from the garden spot, and water regularly on the other sides. Trees' root system
