I still think it is a scam.


Be more positive Franz, *we* know it's a scam :-)


IMHO it is a scam, but not because it doesn't do what it claims, it is a
scam because having one and using it is not any contribution to how
horticulturally organic the soil is - as distinct from structurally
organic. This is yet another indication that the word organic is an
unfortunate one to describe a particular style of gardening.

You have beaten me there. What do you mean by "horticulturally
organic" as opposed to "structurally organic"?

Horticulturally is to do with the way you carry out your gardening,
structurally is to do with the composition of the soil.

Sorry, but that passed right over my head.
Let's call it a day. I will probably never understand it.

Don't worry about it Franz. Just accept that there are people carrying
out their gardening in different ways to those normally accepted. If
those methods are alien to your way of thinking it doesn't make them
wrong, but you would have difficulty in figuring out what they are doing
and why they are doing it. I get like that about GM cropping.

If you really want to learn something new, ask Janet about Permaculture!

That's what I tried to say.

I don't have enough information about GM foodstuffs to have a serious
opinion one way or the other.

If you really want to learn something new, ask Janet about

Permaculture!

Janet, What is Permaculture?
