Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

It’s the trees root plates. Not really a safe thing to be around. Not very responsible to let doggo be endangered.

I would be worried the dog would go underneath and get crushed/trapped

I was mildly concerned about Jake being eaten by the angry Tree Ents for a bit there!

Thought I was about to watch a dog die.

It's fab being in the forest when this happens, although dangerous, it's fun to walk along aha.

Why are the roots so shallow? Wouldn't the trees stop this from happening?

This is what I always wonder when they tell me a plant "tolerates clay soil". Like does it really? Or does it just avoid it by spreading out all its roots in the thin topsoil? This would seem to be the latter.
