Aha, I don't know too much about asparagus as I tried to rid us of some and
it still comes up in the flower beds but that other question is one where I
am well qualified.
Men like big machines. They start with Tonka Toys when young and no matter
what path they follow in their adulthood, this moving dirt around continues.
In a museum once, I saw earth moving equipment amongst antique toys. Leaving
things alone outdoors only occurs when both legs are in poor condition.
They also mow things, including things that don't need mowing. Men like to
do things outdoors in a BIG way. Look at the United States of America which
is covered and laced through and built over and surrounded by BIG roads that
have come about by moving thousands of tons of soil from one place to
another. If you have grown up in an area and you know where the roads are,
they move the roads and you have to learn new roads. This had been going as
long as I have been able to drive.
Give up Donna, the moving just keeping going on. <VBG>
