Well, Freddy, when I work in the garden I just get down on my knees and use my bare hands to turn the soil over, for the pure sensual pleasure of it all, my old-fashioned voile flowered dress blowing around every which way. However, contrary to popular belief, I am not so rigid as to expect EVERYONE to be just like me, agree with me wholeheartedly, or till the earth in the same manner which excites me so much.
Therefore, I do advocate farmers returning to the use of the primitive but perfectly utilitarian sharp stick method of topsoil preservation, being something of a purist on matters such as growing sacred new plant life!! But I refuse to bend over when they are in the garden with me, valuing my chastity and preferring to defer thrill seeking until the cucumber crop has been harvested.
Didn't the Flamin' Groovies invent the Rotherham plow? Or was it that great early sixties band, Sky Saxon and the Seeds? Their hit, "Pushin' Too Hard" could certainly be considered the theme song of early farming equipment! |
