Ma'am, your reply here to this "Cliff" guy kind of mystifies me. I don't
recall how your argument with him got started, and his posting of multiple
responses is certainly obnoxious. But it is not hard to see how someone
would read your posts and come away with the opinion that, while you
obviously have some useful knowledge, you also seem to be an extremely
self-righteous, dogmatic, enviro-leftist. When someone contradicts you, you
react with such anger that you sound like a teen-ager. "Kiss my ass" and
such responses do not serve your purposes, or so it seems to me. I think
you would be more credible if you avoided the juvenile rhetoric.

But that's just my opinion and, anticipating your reply, I just kissed my
own ass. (OK, I blew it a kiss. That was the best I could do.)

What's terrible is the way people feel they must kill everything. What's

I'm not an expert, but I know a great deal about gardening, soils, and
insect
management. I worked for years as a professional grower and I did it all
certified organically.

Got any questions? If not, kiss my ass.
