Re: [nafex] Re: Black Walnut Roots

["del stubbs" <pinewoodel@hotmail.com>]

Root questions, I deleted out non-related material to expose my 
question.....How could the "deep roots drawing up moisture " of one plant 
possibly help another, does it leak out the sides of the roots and thus help 
a shallow rooter?
But the next line mentions "root stress induced" so I'm a bit confused.
And "root symbiosis", do they share chemicals or microrganisms or?
I wonder how all this relates to a choice of grass, forbes, clovers etc as 
ground cover in an orchard, and they're root depth.  Mn. Del
