Redleg Duke :" Redleg Duke :" .. I am going to turn some dibbles for planting. I have some 3”, seasoned Tulip Poplar and will try using it for dibbles "

Actually , my comment was complimentry and praising your inventiveness.
Dibble sticks go all the way back to early horticulture, and were even used when prehistoric mankind was still in the 'hunter-gatherer', semi-nomadic culture.
They were used to spread grains and plants beneficial for food or grazing annimals.
The use of a dibble stick with a dibble board provides for what we know now as "bio-intensive planting ", correct spacing of plants, and superior seed germination.
My comment was meant to be complimentary to your use of agricultural tools by using two tools for increased productivity . Well done !

It sure didn’t sound too complimentary.
