I am more incline to listen to people who do not claim that
fertilizer,
elements alone, are food for autotrophs!

I am not familiar with the term autotrophs, but I do know orchids
(with the exception of some) are epiphytes and take nutrients from
air
and water which collects between the roots or hold tights and the
bark
of the tree the plant has adhered to.

I fertilize plants indoors using simple liquid seaweed and so far,
so
good. I've had the same house plants for over a decade and made
many
plants from their offshoots.

I also ran very large greenhouse operations and was a grower. But
what do I know. Rhetorical of course.


One heck of a lot more than a so called tree biologist.

Remind me Don. What was your last post that addressed a plant problem?
It seems your whole "raison d'etre" for being in gardening groups is
to
attack John. It would be a great improvement if you could just throw
in
a few tid-bits that are on topic. Consider starting a new NG called
rec.kill.john.kill, then you could rant to your hearts content and
still
be on topic.

Bug off, billy, when a tree question comes up, I will, till then
fighting deadwood is a reason to be here. Kind of like asking a back
country chemist how to raise pine trees.

here is 2 tree questions.
You say "fighting deadwood" Very loose terms and not lucid. I never
heard of such a thing.
Please explain what you are saying.

Define "dead" =
Define "wood" =
See, wood is not static so it may be hard to define like humic acids.
Its constantly going through ecological stages.

Look up symplastless in your so called dictionary.

Never trust a so called consulting arboist/tree biologist that has never
studied biology.


DO NOT BELIEVE A WORD I SAY!!!!!!! Believe because you see it for
yourself.

A requirement to study and understand tree biology does include tree
biology.

Are we supposed to trust Don Staples?

What? Trust some one who has actually studied what they make their living
at, unlike some lawn care, one pickup, hand written sign like Keslick?
