Take
seed-planting, as it featured prominently last night. There may be all
sorts of ways of planting seeds, but if a newcomer had bought or been
given a clutch of seeds, what general-purpose seed-planting routine
(that could be easily remembered) would be adequate for most of them?
It seems to me that there is plenty of specific advice on GW, but what
general routine is there that would be recalled and used, and would
stand a chance of giving useful results?

If, as you posted earlier, you have been gardening since Geoff
Hamilton's time then you surely know there is no
general purpose seed-planting routine. It is always specific, depending
on the type of plant, the size of seed, the time of year

Yes, I personally know that; but a newcomer might not. General advice
that works most of the time, which can easily be remembered, would be
of use to such a group.

But you have just agreed, such general advice is meaningless.

Perhaps you'd like to re-read the context of what you think is the
relevant comment.
