Not everyone knows what you're talking about.

True.

And not everyone can afford a large number of tests kits.

Tom is saying you don't need test kits. He's right about that.

So we tend to stick to the plants that thrive for us with a
minimum of supplements.

They're not "supplements" they're "food".
=========================
Supplementary "food" then. But without test kits there is no way to know if
these "foods" are balanced or not, no way to know if there's too much P for
the N available etc.
