That's a complete and utter nonsense, yellow belly.

And rather demeaning of the efforts of light land producers everywhere, to boot.

According to our extensive irrigation trials here, it's more like four inches a month.

Shall now hide away for a couple of years, Brisel, and come back after I've moved to the chalk.
