I’ve got one field which is next to a plantation of Poplar trees, every 5 or so years the bottom of the field becomes a boggy mess and when we dig up the drains they are packed with tree roots.
Short of felling the Poplar plantation or putting the bottom of field into stewardship (both not possible), are there any methods or products we can use to stop (or at least slow down) the roots getting into the drains?
