    Not a bad interpretation. It is /used to be the practice of the protestant community in Ireland to plough at right angles (square to) to the road. Then anybody passing by could see instantly if the furrows were not straight. It stemmed from an old fashioned concept, called pride in one's work.

    That lives on to this day as for some of the ould boys at the allotment the straightness of the rows is more important than the yield of the crop.
    Bonkers. Not one of them has heard of permaculture or intercropping.
