    Strange question but i have planted some peas and im going to make a frame for them to climb up i have access to some trees that have very long thin stems that i can trim a few to make a frame from

    the question is can the cut stems let out any toxins into the soil that would harm the peas and nearby onions


    unsure of the name of the trees

    thanx

    I don't know of any native trees that are toxic to under growth. The only problem plants have within a wood or forest is whether there is enough light. Make a clearing and it is very soon full of plants enjoying the light.
