Ah, yes. “Western Mass isn’t really Mass at all.” Hey, that never gets old; and it’s so true too! 
I was right though, wasn’t I?
Yes, Flymaster, it was the PPP! Glad you’ve heard of it. I got a shirt there in the mid-eighties and wore it until it was about ready to crumble to dust. I got another a few years ago but I came at the wrong time of year and their stock was pretty well picked over. I’m way overdue for a Danny’s Dog & a new shirt, so I guess I’ll go there next time I’m in New England. And I’ll use the bubbler while I’m at it.
Hi everyone.
There is another use for the word bubbler.
In horticulture we sometimes place plants
into those big plastic buckets, cut a hole in the
lid and place a net shaped like a pot into the hole.
The plant (already mature) is placed into this
contraption so that the roots are all sticking through
the net and into the bucket. Inside the bucket
we put the nutrient solution and water and an airstone
connected to a pump which bubble the water/nutes
all over the roots of the plant. This way the
plant get mucho oxygen to its roots, they like that.
Plants grow like crazy in these things. We call them
bubblers.
take care
