It's so silly how difficult some people make this step, mixing this and that because they think it'll "help" when really they have no idea what it'll do to the soil biota as a whole.

Why would you want to re-trace those steps and re-live those headaches when the "answer" is already given to us? I feel like it has to do with ego, the grower feels the need to take accountability for the success of their garden or something
