In other words, there is a high margin of error! I think we can all
agree on that.
In addition to the extras, Fred Kerr mentioned, here are some other
factors that might have affected the survey.
The size of the rhizomes.
Were the rhizomes washed or caked with dirt?
The packaging - did the seller buy boxes or get them from the
dumpsters behind the grocery stores? Creates an
image problem..
The packaging material - all excelsior, all styrofoam, or a mix.
(a mix always bothers me)
The plant labels - Had labels printed, typed, or just marked on
the leaves with a marks-a-lot. (I have no
preference)
Method of transport - UPS or USPS
Toe of rhizome cut to a smooth slice or just broken off.
Fans cut too severely just to fit a small box.
Anything else? Am I too picky?
