Secondtry, Id like to hear your thoughts on something I read from Al, and Justaguy at gardenweb.
They both feel CEC is not at all important in container gardening. They didn't give any reasons, but I imagine some of them would be:
1.) We control how often they get fertilizer, so having a high cec to hold onto nutes isn't very important.
2.) We control the leaching of nutrients by how much run-off we allow. If we reduce our run-off we can eliminate the need for a high CEC in that regard.
Your thoughts?
