It may help this discussion to recall the philology with which Mynors always began his Georgics lectures. "You will find many jokes in the Georgics, as Virgil warns us in the very first line. The bright young things in Rome are meant to dream of a romantic picture of happy, waving crops (laetas segetes), but, as any good farmer knows, crops only wave in the wind after a good dose of manure. Go and look up laetamen in your dictionary and work out what censored verb the words must really come from." I missed this sorely in his official edition of the Georgics. I always used it up to the time I retired. I know that doesn't help with compost; sorry.
