Glowinski page xv: |
|
| "If
intending to plant any quantity of fruit trees previously untried, plant a
trial patch and experiment with fertilisers, as well as obtaining the best |
|
| Department
of Agriculture advice. This is not
merely a formal disclaimer. This is a
very definite warning that the variables involved in farming |
|
| often make a mockery of experts, let alone a
dabbler." |
