Will it work well with deep roots, rhizome roots or tap roots???

Yes it is very sharp to cut the rhizome roots and w a long blade it can go deep. I cleaned out a big patch of aggressive lily turf by cutting the soil as well as the roots. Great tool.

We'll I have haven't come a cross deep root problems I use mine for light Garden Job's But the Hori Hori Garden Knife has a Serrated Edge and an Honed Edge, which is very Sharp and Made From Japanese Stainless Steel.

Pretty well, if you have a really deep root you will need either a longer blade or shovel, but for 6-8 inches it works great!

I am not really sure what those roots are. I have been using mine to dig in a very very rocky soil. Weeding and planting. So it must be able to deal with the roots also? I love the tool. I own several.

Yes, this knife is great for getting down to tough roots! My favorite tool.

No serious gardener should be without this tool. Simply stated, the only reason I didn't have it years ago, was because I didn't know about it years ago. Buy one for yourself and another as a gift. Made in Japan, need I say more?

Yes. I used it in Super Soil, and it works great if you add a little more than recommended. Hope this helps!

Its a soil amendment so your using a small amount mixed into a large amount of dirt then slowly released. i've used way over recommended amount and just had super awesome root structure. so no i dont think so. i've used it on lots of things. everything is thriving. bought it for cannabis and used it on tons of things.

definitely, orchids are very sensitive when as far as watering and leaving any kind of fertilizer sitting on roots not dissolved. I have had root root doing that. Dissolve the fertilizer first, then water the plant using distilled water. I never use tap water, and don't overwater. Good Luck, jfkflyguy-Dan

I just tried it on some baby carrots and it worked. It dices it into small pieces. I have not tried it on other root vegetables.

I cut the bamboo, and apply it to the cut stump. It always works. I haven't tried applying it to the roots, but it should work if you cut the root and apply it where you made the cut.

I'm not exactly sure this will help. I have tomatoes, squash and the vining plants on the highest tier, peppers, spinach, etc on the second and bottom tiers. I used 12 bags of dirt. I have no problems with roots at all. Everything is growing nicely.

I've found that traction is the key to this device's performance. My 23 horsepower Kubota does a great job of pulling as as it has good traction. Tap root stumps can be challenging though. As a rule, I believe that more power is better. More power = more weight and more weight = more traction and pulling power. I think you'll be pleased with this product but will see that a bigger tractor will do more work.

It should do nicely as long as the plant itself (not the root) is misted with water thoroughly at least two or three times weekly. The plant does not obtain any nutrient from the root. It gets its nutrients by absorbing water through the leaves. :)

i dont know exactly because i have never tried it with ginger. i think ginger is a root and it will be a little bit too hard to press. but who knows may be if you cut it in small enough pieces and press hard enough it will work.

I stongly recommend doing this, particularly if you are using the larger churchill and monarch planters, which are large enough to use for edible plant gardening. You are right--this encourages unlimited downward growth of the roots, resulting in stronger root systems and greater topside growth.

Absolutely not. just press down on foot and push down...gets roots 8+inches roots. Best results with dry to moist soil. Buy it, use it, you can not go wrong. Sherry E. Huff

Works fairly well on larger taproots; I've pulled some out about 8 inches long, but skinnier ones, it doesn't grip as well, but it'll usually loosen the soil enough that you can just reach in and pull it out by hand.Caveat: doesn't work well on heavily clay soil or dry soil, regardless. If it hasn't rained for a few days, you may want to wet the soil first, or wait for rain, otherwise, part of the taproot may just snap against the hard dirt.

It works very well with small rocks (2-3inched) and root filled soil. I use branch cutters to cut large roots that the tiller digs up.

This product is specifically for Roots that are growing into your pipes. This is more typical with the OLD STYLE Piping (1930's-1960's). It won't unclog a drain if its due to hair,grease,etc.The Copper somewhat kills the roots back causing them to shrink & retract. If you notice the problem is more prominent in Sept.-Oct(First rain) through April then you have a Root issue.

I have not tried using it in that method. I have used trimmings from a spider plant and that produced very good roots for replant.

Yes, that should work fine. I have thinner hair on the top of my head so I use it on just my roots and it helps a lot!
