hi all. Been here since the beginning but just returning after a long hiatus. Been ROLS since 2013; posted in here around the 56th page or so. swapped out my old ROLS 15gals about 6 months ago to reset for another 10 years. yes—rols lasted me ten years on the same pot. 10 years ago this...

Wow, it has been a long time since I posted here. It's good to be back!

Suffice to say, this is my last post as Snfu on RIU.

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...

Also, thank you to those here who decided to jump off the thread and private message me. It has been enjoyable helping you and will continue to do so via email.

My apologies if I have come off arrogant or misinformed or have disappeared. Been super busy. Maybe I should of given the thread a little more time but life has been crazy! I have decided to discontinue using this username. After speaking with my brother, he has informed me RIU has gone like...

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...

Would love to learn about your composting business. We make our own compost, AACTs, enzyme teas and EWC's.

Great idea. I am willing to help!

It seems like you guys want to start a real organic soil thread. I am down for that!

No hazelnuts.

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.

Send me a message! I am trying to keep this thread from becoming a mag thread.

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...

I appreciate your input! Thank you for sharing your experience.

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.

You can give the pot to a first time grower with a plant in it and they just need to water it. It may not yield the best or have the most pronounced results, however it works wonders for people who do not have experience gardening or are too sick to worry about learning a new craft. In my...
