I quite agree! But this was a failing of the head gardeners and garden
writers of yesteryear which is why we had a generation of people who
followed the advice that they had been given without having the slightest
idea why. And then people said that they must be right because they had
been taught by such-and-such a person - and so the ignorance continued.


Same old story in Industry when a new starter arrives, "Sit with Tom, Dick,
Harry, Agnes, Flo, they will show you" Yes bad habits as well :-(
