Since gardeners thrive on myths of all your types, I found this very interesting. http://www.puyallup.wsu.edu/~Linda%20Chalker-Scott/Horticultural%20Myths_files/index.html
Gardening Mythology
Good find farmer dill, perhaps would be best posted in other forums as well or as a sticky. good info.
This is a great site! Thanks for letting us know about it!
I have linked this site, and will keep referring to it. Interesting information.
wowzers! there are at least 5 myths that I thought were gospel. The only one I knew about was re: peat moss.
About ES, I really think the reason my roses, camellias, azaleas have thrived is because of ES but that's not to say that other good practices weren't responsible, partly or wholly, for my success.
Messenger: eeks! you mean my fave magic potion is not really magic?????
Lots to think about. thanks for the link.
I'm with you, Nery. I can't vouch for pest control, but I'm sure Messenger had a positive effect on the growth factor of my plants. I notice a difference within days of spraying.
