I seem to either over feed or under feed most of the time.
You're welcome.
Makes perfect sense to stick with what you know works for you. especially if income relies in it. Don't put all your seeds in one basket! I would never tell anyone to put all their hopes in an unfamiliar medium until they've learned how to make it work through trail and error.
