Planting Flowers

Question

I read how I can kill the roots of a bush that chopped down but my question is, can I still plant flowers around the roots even though the roots are dying? I hope you know what I’m talking about. Will the dying of the roots effect the growing of the flowers?
Thank you,

Louise

Answer 1

If the roots are continuing to send up shoots this can become an issue crowding out your new plantings.
I would recommend you try to remove as much of the old shrubs root system.
This would be a good time then to make sure the soil condition is right for your new plants.

You and your new plants will be happier with a cleaner garden spot.
