Texas Gardening: Oregano roots, 1 by sybram

I pulled up my very healthy oregano. It was in a raised bed I made a couple of years ago. I'm using that bed for squash this year. I've turned it over and will add some more compost, but what I'm wondering is if it's absolutely necessary for me to get out all those little roots. They are legion! There is just a real mess of those hairy little globs. Will they sprout? Break down? Get in the way of new roots? Enrich the soil (hahahaha, just kidding about this one)?

I'm putting the oregano on the RU trade list. I'd love to pot some up for you. I put one of them up close to the house near the Rosemary and Thyme. This stuff smelled so good while I was pulling it out, I almost changed my mind. Problem was, I never used it.
