Agreed: but then there are also two other truisms:
"Consider the source."
"Take it with a grain of salt."
Mr. Baker's solutions have been proven by sources *I* personally
consider more reputable and valuable than he, to be anything from mildy
effective to ineffective to dangerous. A well grounded training in
plant feeding needs will allow you to choose what's best, cheapest, and
most effective for you, be it organic or not, without relying on exotic
and expensive cocktails. The best thing to do with Jerry Baker potions
is to figure out why they (might) work and then duplicate the desired
effect more cheaply, safely, and easily.
