I've run across advocacy of this technique several times in garden
magazines and elsewhere. I've asked off and on about this idea of
'thicker stems', the point of my question being .. if you plan to bury
the stems (and I do) does it really make any difference whether they are
a bit thicker or not?  I have never had an answer .. perhaps
enlightenment will come from this list .. I've learned a lot of goodies
from it in other areas.
