[AT] Garden question

[Stephen Offiler]

Not a direct argument with you Charlie but with your link.  The author is
has no expertise in the subject matter.  She claims some of her information
stems from research done at Cornell University, but, she provides no
references so the reader cannot check and determine if her claims are
rational and accurate.

So not saying you're wrong Charlie but I am saying this link isn't helping
prove you're right.

SO
