    I admit I am discouraged. As an educator myself, I see a lot of people who think of themselves as educators but in reality they create an atmosphere of fear. When people are trying to learn a new topic (especially this one), it is scary and beginners have tons of questions and are typically...

    My sincerest apologies to anyone who has had to read the above. This is not the intention of this post nor the reason why I cam onto RIU. Simply put, I do not do well with or have the time for people that only wish to pick fights. Honestly, I am way too busy and old for that type of crap.

    Sigh. To be honest, I was just trying to shake you off. You kind of remind me of the kid in class who would raise his hand at every question just to piss off people, whether you had an answer or not. Honestly, I am here to help people and not explain myself or pick fights with people like you...

    Also, as a disclaimer, my organics education is received through Elaine Ingham. I really do not listen to anyone else regarding the Soil Food Web. I have backed up that education with personal education over the years...one of my favorite books is Teaming with microbes.

    WELL! It looks like we may have to change this thread. This thread has rallied a lot of great discussion with great organic guys that seem to all want to change the forums a little bit here on RIU in order to reduce the amount of mis and disinformation out there. I would be willing to change...

    It is worth a shot. There are many more factors, however based on what you said, through your experience, I would give that a shot.

    I do not feel put down at all! Not knowing what I do or how I do it, it may behoove you to ask me more pertinent questions, as I do not understand your prognosis on 'layering' (your definition may be different than mine). Honestly, I never heard of layering until you mentioned it. What I do...

    If you are looking for my gardeners perspective and opinion on it, I don't have one because I do not use layering for my personal garden. I tend to build my own soil and recycle.
