so i purchased this young juniper last week and decided to repot it in a larger 1 gallon pot so the roots can have more room space to grow without restriction. while doing this i scraped some healthy reused soil from the ground( 2-3 cm deep) and it had small feeder roots in it from hydrangea plants( i think) in them to help build the tree to the top. will the root in the soil affect the soil mixture in any way? and especially at this time of the year also i live in massachusetts

What's the rest of the soil composed of?

Welcome to Crazy!

If it's straight earth it's probably helpful, but you'll have other problems.
