    How do I get rid of the neighbors cedar roots in my garden? I don't want to kill the
    trees, but the dang roots are every where in my garden. I have dug a trench,18 inches deep, along the fence next to the trees. Can I put some sort of barrier to stop the roots from their search for h20. Thanks for any answers.........

    If you want the trees to stay alive and healthy, you have to put up with the roots. Sorry!

    If you have dug the trench already consider Deeproot root barrier. The product googles well and should be easy to source.
