Seems to me that Bill Shear (wasn't there a line on Sgt. Pepper's about
introducing the 'one and only Billy Shears??).... ANYWAY, seems to me that
there is a scientifically valid reason for snapping instead of cutting, which
has to do with disturbing cell walls and therefore inviting rot.
So, cut if you will - but now you can feel guilty about it.
Kathyguest in E. Aurora, NY with 2 feet of white mulch... capped by a layer of
ice and finished with another 12 - 18 inches (still coming) who tries to
ALWAYS snap since she learned this
