Well, my Dad did twin scaling in 8s. He INSISTED that retaining basil was a MUST for higher healthier, successful yield. Multiplication was the name of his game; his greatest sense of achievement. I know he got alot more bulblet production but I don't recall any of them being any larger than mine--if that large even. But it sure as heck worked for him. He'd take a dormant pot of 3 that somebody didn't want to winter over (and that he wanted) and, in what seemed no time, had numbers exceeding 1000 or more. Sound silly? The 1000 figure is understated! Back in the days of the old blue-green copper and captan fungicides.

But my objectives are totally different than his were. It would be nice if somebody on this forum would be doing this. I'd be real interested in what the differences might be between the Divisions with twin scaling.

Brian, are you going to try some more?
