This is great stuff. I can attest to how easy that lighter blue "winter" pipe works though! Jealous this video didn''t come out a few weeks ago before I put in my system! But I am hoping air pruning will be good enough. Copper sulfate is a no go since I discharge to a storm drain. Keep up the great work FDM! I never would have had the confidence to do this myself without content like this. I would have done a no wrap, PVC system with most dirt back on top that wouldn't have lasted nearly as long as mine will.
Copper compounds, act as a natural deterrent to root growth, causing roots to avoid areas where the metal is present, effectively preventing them from penetrating the pipes; this is achieved by applying copper directly to the pipe, where it dissolves into the surrounding soil, inhibiting root development without significantly harming the tree itself.

Nice system. Who sells the copper mesh?
@@BuckeyejamesFDM pinned the link to his store. They have it. ✌️
Do you still put down the Copper Sulfate in that area?

Trees don’t like copper?
