Say it ain't so!

15 years ago

Okay, here is what I am looking for fellow garden writers, tell me some ridiculously inaccurate garden-related information that you have read online or in a book or magazine, or been told by a friend. Then, if you have a source to verify its inaccuracy that would be helpful too.

Thanks.

The endless repetitions, including on these Garden Web forums, that trees have a "drip zone" within which their roots are restricted.
Have spent a lifetime of tree research, including following roots and excavating roots.
