Re: Gardeners vs consumers


I have to agree with Barbara that oversimplification is a problem because
it becomes simply lack of information necessary to succeed. Besides, how
long can you keep writing the same article?

And, surely if there are now so many beginners then there will shortly be
a large number of people at an intermediate level? Where do all the
beginners go? Do they all lose interest before they become more skilled?
