Now this logic is making me sad...
A few articles I read have mentioned "The big box stores" I assume they are referring to places like Walmart... and blaming stupid Walmart Employees.
I'm going to say it straight. Walmart is buying their Hosta from Commercial Growers. It would be the same Commercial Vendors that have been recommended to me.
Supposedly they are testing their stock for the virus...
If the virus is rampant in big box stores but not in private sales... that means the Commercial Growers would be negligently selling their tainted stock ***which they have tested.*** to let Walmart or the big box stores take the loss or blame for it. And Walmart customers to take the financial loss for it...
I am going to take this article about the virus into the Walmart Garden Center Managers in my area to let them know...
Hopefully they will write up an article about it to their purchasing dept. newsletter. They guarantee their stock with replacement so they need to know if their supplier is hustling them.
All WALMART has to do is threaten the grower to terminate the contract unless he guarantees virus free stock...
losing such a customer as WALMART or HOME DEPOT would be devastating to the
Growers.
I want to be able to shop at WALMART with confidence and I can't do that.
