Not in Portugal, no.
A lot depends on your native soil and climate. I wouldn't dream of mixing organic manure in a raised bed in this country but in Arizona maybe it is the best thing.

Actually, please do - I have no idea what or who you are talking about. I suspect this is aimed at me? Or maybe Stuart? Tina? Tony? Someone else? It is difficult to tell from your nebulous insinuations. Then at least everyone knows where we all stand.

That's the trouble with/ one of the joys of (delete as appropriate) the internet - we post on a forum and have no control over what happens next! Who knows where the discussion will lead?

Re: Trying to find a book on cacti
Sounds to me like this one. A 'remarkable' book. 9780195084153-uk.jpg Is it possible for you to expound on the outstanding merits which you used to arrive at the conclusion which is deserving of that complimentary adjective? i'd take a wild stab at this and say it is based on the book title. :smile:

I would hope that the show was a competition of "GROWING" rather than "GRAMMAR" Its not "GRAMMAR", its "TAXONOMY" (sic). And I would hope that getting the name of something right is important, whether on the show bench or in your own greenhouse. To my mind it...

OK, took me a while but it's 'Toumeya'. There are points for presentation but no penalties for spelling. No penalties either for a plant incorrectly named as long as it's in the correct class though I might write a helpful note on the entry card. Stuart I see. Probably not a good idea for me to bec...

Do judges take points off for not spelling the name correctly?

Re: Agave talk & pictures
In my mind I have them as closer to isthmensis - highly mammilate, clustering. But the populations in Mexico are so variable that they could all just be potatorum anyway. The first four pics on this page of one of my travelogues show plants in the same population along the same stretch of road withi...
