I prefer to just stay here, Worth. I'm afraid I'll get into trouble over on those threads. Been there before on other sites. Most home gardening forums are very organically-oriented and many of those folks find chemical references downright offensive - for many dedicated organic gardeners today, this almost approaches religious zealotry.

In fact, I think christianity is gradually being replaced with a kind of post modern "pantheism" - the worship of the natural world - which is, as a matter of historical fact, actually a throwback to the pre-christian era. For that reason, to avoid conflict, I only participate on market type forums where modern chemistry is not viewed as "sinful".
