We had this discussion a couple of years ago and I still have the same
question.
If the statement is true, why don't we have any problems with 99% of the
plants we grow? It sounds good in theory, but the fact is that virtually
none of the plants you buy, with maybe the exception of b&b trees and
shrubs, are grown in soil that resembles what most people have in their
gardens. Almost everything now is grown in peat and/or bark. Since very
few of us have garden soil that is primarily peat or bark, why do we have
so few problems getting plants to grow?
