Sorrel
Some sources say this grows in any reasonable soil while another says it
needs acid soil and that lime can be used against escapees. It certainly failed to germinate last year in my slightly alkaline soil. What do urglers find? Thanks! Steve Harris - Cheltenham - Real address steve AT netservs DOT com |

It certainly failed to germinate last year in my slightly alkaline soil. What do urglers find? That theory is related to the Doctrine of Signatures, and should be ignored by anyone who regards science as even slightly more reliable than witchcraft. It grows perfectly well in my slightly alkaline soil, and is found wild in all 112 vice-counties of the British Isles. It is a fairly shy germinator, and I don't get more than half a dozen new seedlings a year from perhaps a dozen shoots that set seed. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |

Mary From http://www.brc.ac.uk/brcMaps.shtm Biological Records Centre What is a vice-county? The system of vice counties was decided upon by H.C. Watson in 1852, who divided the country into units of roughly equal area for botanical recording purposes. His system was later extended to Ireland by Praeger. Why use vice-counties? Vice counties have been widely adopted by naturalists in preference to the ever-changing administrative counties. The vice county boundaries will not move! It is very useful to us at BRC to have a note of the vice-county as well as the grid reference with each record. With both, we are able, using the computer, to check that grid references are not wildly inaccurate, and to sort records into counties, which is useful when providing information to county recorders, local records centres and museums. So - whenever possible - please enter the vice-county, as well as the grid reference, on your records. L -- Remover the rock from the email address |

Hello Steve,
I believe that, like Dock, it is a noted coloniser of fertile ground, particularly clay. Is it possible that your alkaline soil is on the lean side? Spider Steve Harris wrote in message ...
