Pseudo-agricultural my arse! The matter I was referring to was, as 100% of the world's population except you realise, purely hortifriggincultural. I've planted many a tree, my fiend, and not one has succumbed to any issue relating to my technique. Au contraire, mon tosseress: the world is awash with my plantings. Why, ten years ago I raised and sold over 300 palms from seed and they now adorn Bude to the exclusion of almost everything else taller than six feet. If only you could eat the bastards.
