Does anyone know of a safe and not too expensive root killer?
I have cut down an old privit hedge and am building a wooden stepcase above where it used to be - I can't afford to get them proffesionally removed but need to prevent them from re-growing and pushing up against the steps. I have a nosey old cat and I really don't want to harm him - or the environment if I can help it!

The best way really is to have them drilled out. I had that done to a few giant old hedge plants the last place I lived and it really was not very expensive. You might want to call around and get a few quotes, you might find it's not so bad. Otherwise it might be possible to rent one of the augurs they use and DIY (do it yourself).
