KFG,
you won't learn how it is really done, but once you get to see how it is done on a farm you will know why, and understand it better.
it sounds like they are going to do it up like a bunch of vets would do it...i think you are going to have to do your spawnings the natural (and safer) way by letting them jsut go at it after you light the candles and put the Gino Vanelli on....

if you go you'll have to share what you learned with us...

for me, i always learned by doing as opposed to going to class. Coupla topics i would love to be able to give myself....

I don't care if it's koi or bonsai....those people who apprentice with the best
over the years usually go away with the base knowledge to apply the individual gifts they've been given....

my advice is to jump in the water, get yourself good and wet, take a few knocks and bumps and then after you can float, go to school to perfect your strokes

Home construction will be busybusybusy at that time of year and I'll be building doors as fast as I can go (at least I hope so, otherwise my koi budget will be in the QT)
