Is that 'reason' important for solving this puzzle?

Not really, he just choses not to do so

[Zacharie]

Jeee.... this is a though one, yet very interesting. Only a pity I seem to have to solve this on my own. I have no clue at all and the questions I post aren't at all with some idea or clue on my mind. I'm just hoping to ask something, better: get an answer that would ring any bell or give an idea. So, allow me the next question:

You say Bert only uses his eyes as a 'technique'. I suppose you don't mean he doesn't touch his plants at all while watching them grow better compared to his brother. So, do you mean he takes care differently of his plants because he makes better use of his eyes? Meaning he 'sees' something that makes him manipulate his hands and/or tools in a different way compared to his brother?

Yes I do

DO they plant them at the same moment?

No, they do not practice synchronised planting

maybe they plant their crops on different months..

like for example they are planting grapes.. (that's the first thing i thought of..) idk when is its harvesting season, so i searched it..

grapes harvesting season if february, april, august and october depending on their location..http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harvest_%28wine%29

so if they also plant alternately like january(adam), feruary(bert), march(a), april(b), may(a), june(b), july(a), august(b), september(a), october(b), november(a), december(b)

all those harvesting months fall on bert's month, so his crops would really be better than adam's..


so i think they dont plant on same months, and it so happens that bert's turn to plant/harvest are set on good months.. ??

[sherlockx]

ehrie you are very close in one sense but that is not the answer.
They do plant and harvest at different times but it is nothing to do with alternate months.
Sometimes Bert will plant before Adam and sometimes after him, the same with harvesting.
There are plenty of sites out there on the net as to why this happens and it is nothing to do with the sunlight, the rain or the temperature.

ehh i didnt really mean alternate months.. that is just my example..

so i think they dont plant on same months, and it so happens that bert's turn to plant/harvest are set on good months(i mean good months to harvest, like harvesting season for that certain crops).. ??

[Zacharie]

Then has it something to do with alternated planting, meaning never the same kind of plants near each other or never the same plant on the same spot the next seeding season?

Adam and Bert always plant and harvest within 2 to 3 weeks of each other which is within parameters for planting and harvesting most things.

I am afraid not Zacharie, although crop rotation still is a good thing that is not the answer

[Zacharie]

Is the 'direction' of something involved?

[sherlockx]

Is the 'direction' of something involved?

I really have no idea where that question is leading but the answer is ...... No

Ow? What about wind direction? Direction of the Sun? Direction of earth waves? Direction your imagination flew away when you lost it?

Wind direction is dis-gust-ing, the sun does not play a star-ring role, earth waves and Bert waves back, neither do ley lines, the movement of the magnetic north pole,local gravitic anomalies,the direction of the pyramids,the alignment of stonehenge,the navigation of eels from the sargasso sea,nor the identity of the second gunman on the grassy knoll have any connection with the answer. How many pieces have you fitted in that jigsaw?

[Zacharie]

OK, clear enough. And... no Jigsaw until this one is solved.

But I confess I'm lost here.I mean: I'm confused. A part of your answers seem to say Bert differs with his brother in the way he sows his seed, and then another part that Bert's 'technique' becomes different from his brother's after the sowing is done. Please clarify?

[sherlockx]

Bert's 'technique' becomes different from his brother's after the sowing is done

Bert's 'technique' becomes different from his brother's at the momernt of sowing

[Zacharie]

Meaning he sows in a different way?
