Thanks for posting this Laurence London.

I have asked the Danish Designer of these systems how do they "stop
the Willow roots from clogging up the "spreading system"?

His response is below and may be of interest.

Hi Laurence

Thank you for your interest of the willow systems that I have
developed in 1996. Your question is difficult to explain short. But
they do not clog spreading system if the system is dimensioned very
exact, the right system for spreading is used and the rigtht cover of
the system is used. And they do not penetrate the membrane egihter.
It is a question of balance between water amount and nutrients more
or less. If the willow have enough water and enough nutrients and
they are cut down in correct cycle the growth of roots are very
limited. Only roots this as sewing treat is developed.

Best regards

Peder

What does he mean here:

> limited. Only roots this as sewing treat is developed.


I am going to make a foray into the Permies.com threads Paul referenced
and Xpost interesting material into this thread.

I wish there was a way to mount an app on the web, in a website,
that automagically aggregates feedback in different threads in different websites/forums/etc into a single new thread; this could be a dynamic thing, like a neural network, that creates a new thread upon demand and dumps accumulated feedback from previous threads into it.
Maybe it could be done on the fly using RSS feeds for individual threads then setting up an aggregator for them in one place. This would be a good blog task. Actually its better suited to a wiki :-)
