Re: RE: Cult -Cold Climate planting

And I figured that since my earliest roots seem to come from the heel or
back of the fan area, I may plant it very slightly deeper and the front
angled slightly upward so the cut end (toe?) is about ground level. I
don't know if I actually try to plant them at a slight incline but I tend
to give a little extra "push" on the fan end to settle them in. This has
been an interesting thread!
