The "technique" that has boggled MY mind is in BT 89, where
someone recommends drilling a hole into the trunk and applying
fertilizers directly to the vascular system. (!!!) Pesticides,
too. (!!!!!!!!)

Putting fertilizer into the vascular systems seems a waste of time, since plants spent millions of years coming up with a nice way of doing it. Injecting pesticides into the trunk is an old method, used for dutch elm disease, and currently, for asiatic lo
nghorn beetles. Sometimes it's the cheapest, most effective method for pesticides LABELED FOR THIS USE.
