Sometimes grass, which can go towards making our green spaces look simply gorgeous, can kill. Particularly, it can kill young shrubs and trees that are simply not strong enough to fend for themselves against this wild, spreading plant. The only way around this, really, is to check closely the soil around the base of the shrub to ensure it’s still clear. You may need gloves to do this if the shrub is particularly rough, but it’s as simple as lifting part of the plant out of the way or pushing it aside and having a quick glance.
Grass is tough to control, but it is possible. We know that, when we plant baby shrubs and trees, we clear a circle of earth around the plant to ensure that its roots are getting the correct amount of space to spread out in, as well as that the only thing soaking up the water and the sun’s rays is the plant.
