You know, you can get that fertilizer stuff down at the Home Depot if you want to sa ve a few bucks.

You may be right about the root system of this aprticaulr tree (and based on your commetns in this thread and I can see why one would have great confidence in your botanical conclusions) but it just sounds too close to the house to me. ALso, it may be a fire hazard and, finally, do you have roof rats in your area? Roof rats can be a problem so make sure you keep your attic vents properly sealed.
