I have a possible answer for 36A but can't parse it. Is there a misprint in this one?

I've no misprint in 35 A. It's an old word for Mistress inside a word, shortened slightly, for 'Master'. It's earthy as in garden stuff, soil etc.

Thanks Malone. I must have an error in 23d. Back to the grid. Can you throw light on 6d though? Warn against getting rid of Frenchman (3). I have ?CE There must be a misprint in WARN I guess.
