clematis planting
In message , Tony Morgan
writes In message , Rachel Sullivan writes Plant it well & add a pipe going down to the roots (fill it with stones) so you can pour water straight down to where it's needed. No doubt para 4 in the Planting directions help Barkers sell more clematis plants :-) In this, regardless of the smiley, you are implying that Rachel is giving bad advice to sell more plants. 1. That is ludicrous in the extreme. 2. You will note that their web site has much information for people who will *never* buy plants from them - Temp. Zone info for those in North America and the rest of the world, outside of the E.U., for example. 3. Your comment above is offensive. Since you have now been offensive, then I'll continue. Unless you plant with a little of the brown section at the bottom of the stem above ground, you can get disease or rot. Also cut the bottom out of a 3" or 4" pot and place upside down to keep the sun away from the roots. Rachel has already answered these comments quite adequately - and I note that you have yet to provide a single authoritative reference for your position. What we actually find is that this is not uncommon in your case. You are quite fond of pontificating about subjects, to appear to others as if you are expert in them, when in actual fact you aren't. Remember back to Jan 2001 when you said in demon.homepages.authoring that NT4 could only read NTFS, amongst other tripe. To refresh your memory it was in article: news: since what you spouted in it was almost totally wrong, I posted: news: in which you were comprehensively destroyed and never posted a follow-up It's there on Google Groups for all to see. Of course, you might consider that Grandad has more experience with clematis than any of us is likely to achieve if we live to be a 100, since he's propagated and grown 10s if not 100s of thousands of the bloody things. You also might consider that T.H. Barkers have got, and they've read from cover to cover, every major and minor work on clematis. You might also consider that Rachel herself is considered an expert by some very qualified people - I can bore you with the detail, but I won't. You, of course, know better. Just like you knew better that NT4 couldn't read a Fat16 file system. Bwahahaha! I'm sure that the rest of us mere mortals sleep better at night knowing that we don't have to live our lives with your attitude. -- Tony - Rachel's partner Who extends his apologies to the rest of the regular denizens of u.r.g And knows bugger all about clematis - but a lot about Rachel, NT4 & Win2K |
