Look, Im not trying to argue with you. IMO you, and everyone else interested in organics should be trying to turn people on to it, not turn them off with a condescending attitude. Not everyone has the time nor the means to be making everything. I work 50+ hours a week, I have a family of 5, and I enjoy traveling. If its easier for me to stop at the hydro shop for a bottle of pro-tekt than it is to be pissing around with horsetail trying to make it myself then I (nor anyone else) shouldn't be ridiculed for it. The tone of the LOS site turns people away. Offer alternatives to products, not ultimatums.
Myself and others were shamed for using coco coir in our mix at LOS. Like its blasphemy or something. Why is that? I really like using a 50/50 peat/coco coir mix. It's working great for me. Why is that so bad in your view? You guys act like peat is the only organic answer, and yet apparently don't consider the delicate ecosystems that are ruined when these peat bogs are stripped.
Personally I want to see more people make the switch to organics. If people choose to source everything from their back yard then more power to them. If people choose to pick up a couple items from the hydro store then that should be ok too.
