A suggestion, The following is from the School of Hard Knocks or
"Experience"
Try a few, of your "Expendables" After 3 weeks compare the size difference.
I have even taken the 1 or 2 that start to grow upside down, and turned them
over, less than 1/2 in long, and had them grow,
My only losses have been from accidental dropping, 1 or 2 per year. (dog
doesn't help)
Books and Land Grant schools, doesn't matter what topic you pick, You will
always find some author that will disagree with all the others.
Doubt if you could find 10 that agree 100%
Getting back to the original issue, It works for me 99.9% of the time, I
appear to have better plant growth with this method. The cost of your
experimation is less than $1.
