It's not just gardening I'm afraid, every retailer now uses marketing speak
to sell crap that doesn't work, usually at exhorbitant prices.
This is just one more example of the 'instant' culture which has taken over
our society, no one wants to wait for anything....this mindset was created
by marketing departments (fast food, microwavable everything, on-demand
technology etc etc) and they utilise it every day to sell more and more
garbage which gets used twice then discarded but they have acheived what
they set out to do, part you from your money.
