Either way has the same meaning.
Do you ever worry about the information you are putting out there? It takes 12 months between trying one gardening idea and trying a different one. Growing conditions are so different from place to place.
I could hang so many caveats of my "notions" that they would become useless and I still would be talking thru my hat. "A man of his word and that word is - unreliable!"
We need the folks with little experience to comment. We need the folks with a little more experience to advise. TEG would have no use without that sharing and little use without folks asking questions.
I've shared this before but, they say, confession is good for the soul . . . I once told a whole group of gardeners that I like to use cotton string in garden trellises because that string could be composted. In the 18-month composting schedule I was using then, hadn't yet dug into the pile to see how things had gone.
It hadn't. Gone that is . . . it must have taken 4 or 5 years of moving all that d**n cotton string from pile to pile before it would fully decompose! "Partially" decompose wasn't good enuf. It didn't much matter that it would break easily, it wouldn't break down! Imagine running a rototiller over a garden bed where you have spread compost with a bunch of string in it . . . I cringe whenever I think of having told people that cotton string was okay in the compost.
