Snake oil, Horticultural Myths, Urban Horticultural Legends, Frauds and Carpetgaggers in our Industry - Cooperative Extension Ventura County

Careful Tony, you are talking blasphemy here.

Many of our learned and esteemed colleagues would not agree with parts of that article.

I am a simple farmer and have found it difficult explaining Low C:N Ratios to some members.
I have not even broached the topic of High C:N Ratios, even though the concept is simple and easy to understand.
I am willing to say that I mix tons of wood chips into my soil, each delivery consists of 6 tons.

When reading something keep two things in mind.

1. If a mountain of words are used to explain nothing, then nothing is being explained.

2. If you can't dazzle them with brilliance baffle them with BS ........ W.C. Fields
