Obviously not the soil, as Doc pointed out, or the tree would be in the middle of a big hole. Where does all that stuff come from? CO2 and water.) |
That's sort of like when somebody puts a clipping from a flower in a pot with only water in it, and it somehow grows - without even any access to any dirt.
