Gardengal
With our heavy freeze warning for tonight, people in this area better be
covering up any plants they have out. "Billy" wrote in message ... Self esteem: check Ego: check. Hubris: check Looks like she's good to go. So tranquility returns to the little band of intrepid gardeners. See them racking the ground smooth. Others are laying out the seed beds, while others wrap tape around their rolls of dimes.

Personal attacks and rudeness have no value and very little place on a gardening forum. That you cannot enter into a civilized discourse without them says a lot about you and the confidence you have in your opinions. It was with the facts. Really. The facts according whom? What you did was take information out of context and blow it up out of proportion to the specific question. No one was disputing that soil organisms can have an influence on soil pH but it is relatively minor in the grand scheme of things. Other factors have a far greater influence. And they typically react to existing conditions rather than creating their own. The facts are that plants do not create soil chemistry or even alter it to any significant degree - it is what it is independent of them. Lord knows I've been on the dirty end of the stick enough time but each time I learned from it (I think I have, anyway) and moved on. There are many posters here asking for help, especially at this time of the year, and your knowledge and experience can greatly benefit all of us. Speaking for myself, I hope that you'll continue to post in the "wrecked gardens". I have no intention of being run off by the likes of you. I am extremely secure in my education and my knowledge - I've been in the horticultural industry for a long time - and I will offer advice and suggestions to the best of my ability to those whom I think can benefit from it. However, I do accept your apology....or whatever it is. It's the first semi-gracious thing I've seen you write,ses -- - Billy "For the first time in the history of the world, every human being is now subjected to contact with dangerous chemicals, from the moment of conception until death." - Rachel Carson http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WI29wVQN8Go http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1072040.html |
