If Dr. Bock believes that roots could grow into that laundry bag and up through those bones in only two weeks.... I cannot give her testimony any credit at all. Anyone who gardens knows that plants just do not grow that fast. You don't have to be a botanist to know that it takes time for plants and plant roots to grow. :doh:
This past school year my kindergardener's planted beans...it took over two weeks for them to begin to break the soil.
Totally Agree! with one exception:
If you live in Southern California and ten years ago you purchased a little 4" pot of Tiny-Leaf Ivy (Duck Ivy) with the intention of making a small topiary but never got around to it, then come back two weeks later to find the little ivy roots grew through the bottom of the plastic pot and embedded themselves quite securely in the raised garden where I had placed
the 4" plastic pot for safe keeping. <----yes, I know...run-on sentence Big Time! LOL
I ended up putting the ivy in a small pot.
Here it is 10 years later and every couple weeks I have to yank a kitchen trash bag full of tiny ivy leaves AND Roots from the area. It all started with that little 4" pot.
In other words.....if that wooded area was packed with ivy, I'd agree.....fast FAST growing quap and would have covered much in a two-week period.
But from learning about the vegetation that is in those wooded areas in Florida.....don't think so. Not in two weeks.
