I hope that he returns you call when he wakes up at 4 AM.
He can counter your offer and tell you that he will take $50 each.
Personally I think the bigger concern is that *he sprays diesel fuel on his lawn* to kill weeds.
WHO DOES THAT?!? Seriously
As a horticulturist I can't think of too many things that are more stupid to do than that.
I don't really see a problem with this guys ad. I mean they were his to do as he pleased, and they are not grossly over priced. While there are cheaper alternatives, my LHBS probably charges $55+ each.
To go after this guy with emails and phone calls seems a little over the top IMHO.
that should be about 2 hours past bedtime for the hillbillies in that part of the state
What are you going to use? Gasoline?
I mean, sure, kerosene is the obvious choice, but we're talking about an elderly farmer here... He's just using what he has handy.....
sure, you could, well, you cold do lots of things that would be "horticulturalist approved". But I still don't think the diesel or the kerosene is a bad idea at all. And dirt cheap compared to the crap I'm sure you'd recommend.....
(you do realize he doesn't just "spray it on his lawn", right? you obviously light the **** on fire when you do that.... And I can tell you from experience, even though I'm not a horticulturist, lighting weeds on fire does a pretty goddamn good job of killing them.....)
Is there really indignation over this guy using cornies for something other than homebrew? After all, homebrew isn't their intended purpose either. Who's to say our repurposing is better than someone elses?
AND!!! For the love of God Almighty, after ruining them, he's still trying to get $60 a piece when I can pick them up for $45 each at MANY places online, and they'll still be safe for beer.
First and foremost, he's making all Iowans look bad by publicly advertising his stupidity.
