Hmmm...I see at the bottom of the page where it says IMG code is turned off. Anyone know how to turn that on? And no one has heard an apparent medicinal something or another you can derive from the roots?
Why not try composting? A couple of weeks in a compost bin and your stuff will be unrecognizable and you'll have some nice soil additive for other gardening possibilities. I put roots, stems, left over leafage etc. in the bin and stir it up occasionally for excellent compost for outdoor plants.
Growing weed has made me a better vegetable gardener and no worries about the garbage man finding anything.
Just another option.

Nope, never once really heard people talk about using the roots for something........you can tell by the fact that we immediately guessed your question wrong.
I myself would not put dead/dying/old roots into new soil as I agree with Daddy that it is inviting pathogens and unwanted things into your soil. Dead roots acidify things btw as they go.
Composting sounds like a good one. Otherwise nada I can think of....sorry.

Jesus Christ...Daddynobucks..that is one hell of a rootball....:thumbsup:
got any pics ...before it was cut down?
Beautiful Daddynobucks! Everyone look at the diameter of those trunks! Anyway, short of composting just keep them away from your live plants. They are now dead organic matter and inorder to break down they need to decompose AKA rot. The zyme products help convert the rotting matter into food, but it is NOT meant to be an additive to convert a root mass into food, it is meant to simply in the right env help a live plant redigest the normal death of a little bit of old roots.
Its like your immune system helping you fight off a cold, and serving yourself a huge helping of sickness and peppering it with a little bit of white blood cells. You gonna die brotha.
Sounds good guys, I appreciate it. I'll letcha know if I ever come across anything more unique that can be done with the roots.
