I've read the pdf and wonder why we have such a large pesticide industry if worm casts are so good.

Update from a couple of days ago. Buds are getting really colourful and the first flowers are now just starting to pop open.

Re: Agave talk & pictures
A friend in Wales has an Agave montana that flowered this year (one of the first, I think) - he gave me some pollen that I will try to use to cross these two as I think it would make a great looking plant.
