I find that elitist and arrogant.

Many of the formally educated people in botany and hort I know are very stuck in their own footprint and mindset and when they are hammers everything looks like a nail, if u get what I'm sayin'
Example: before u grow your crop, "test your soil and adjust ph to 6.5".
You see that in EVERY official university publication. It is so infuriating to the people that actually look beyond what the experts say. Then when you ask them, what is the base saturation of C and Mg are you recommending, they are lost.


Drew, maybe I'm reading u wrong and I'm over reacting. My apologies if so. Just didn't care for the tone and I tend to say what I feel.
I will drop it from here b/c in the short time I've been here, I see that this site is pretty much free of conflict and don't want to turn this into the comments section of YouTube or yahoo etc.
Sometimes folks come off wrong and it is hard to tell on a forum.
I will agree with you on the statement about the experts always being right.
I can count many times in history where the so call man that knew it all was proven wrong.
A case in point is the finding of the Clovis point in New Mexico.
It took years for the scientific community to finally agree that these people really were here that long ago.
All because the so called (man in the know) disagreed.
If I recall correctly this idiot was preaching that the Egyptians were here and were the ones that built the mounds.
