Default not a thorough experimentation, Monique bulbs and planting depth
wrote in news:57e45678-5250-448e-b891-
:

It maybe the case that there are two locomotions driving bulbs
deeper-- one of
contractile roots but a second one of action-reaction of leaves
shooting upwards.
And the factor of the soil involved because if a clay soil is involved
contractile roots
may have a tough time of getting deeper.



It is easier to pull a rope than push it.
