Oh good call, @eric_johnson. I used a cheap rug pad and it made a huge difference.

Man, that's a scary lesson. I used to think a straight wall was the strongest kind... until I saw a small creek bank collapse after a rainy week. It looked perfect, but the whole thing was just waterlogged dirt held together by roots. Now I look at any cut and wonder what's hiding behind it.

Cut too much, got all leaves now.

Listen to spencer707 on the temperature thing... it's a real gamble with summer heat. I've had a box show up warm and it just ruins everything. Not worth the risk if you ask me.
