Re: master gardeners and Scotts?

FYI, here's the post on GardenRant about this issue, written by Amy and 
quoting garden columnist Debra Smith.  Lots of great comments.  My only 
contribution was to ask what GWA members thought of the relationship. 
Though I would add if it's a policy of GWA not to take a position one way or 
the other about harmful products, maybe it's time to reconsider the policy.
