Who has the time to read through 76 pages of posts to find the answer to a problem that the post was about ?
Not even geezers.
I suggest that people edit their posts by putting a summary
at the bottom of the first /original post based on replies.
Eg.
"Q: What is the best DIY soil mix ?
This is what my friend recommended/I saw some where:
30% beach sand
20% Perlite
10% Bullshite
10% garden top soil
20% compost
10% spagnum moss "
******************
Then after 20 replies the poster would edit the first post to something like:
5% clean, mountain river sand
10% perlite ( some say much more)
35% top soil from uncultivated land ( or Virgino Brand )
15% coco ( many objections to including )
20% compost
10% dolomite Lime
5% slow release fertiliser (a few recommenders)
Then if the searcher is interested they can read all the hundreds of posts.
Maybe the original posters of some existing 500+ post threads could do a summary- at the top- not at the end.
I'm sure it would be really appreciated by many who are trying to learn to grow.
PS> I am looking for a good soil mix formula
