Cult. this type of planting requires the use of a long stick, as apposed to the short one used to egtuwil. Although it takes longer, and divides labor between the one who digs the hole and the one who drops the seed, it is still preferred by some because the long stick makes a sound each time it is used to pierce the ground. Perhaps this has superstitious or religious significance.
