Not directly off those big roots but certainly of any strikers and laterals below them.
Often when I'm grinding ficus roots I'll plunge the cutter wheel down in the soil and reverse along cutting roots. Then I move over say 2m and do the same, with a mattock lift out the root. They always have lots of roots coming off below them, it's not like lifting up a piece of tube or pipe but more like peeling it off a velcro surface. |
