It didn't strike me that way at all. Just someone asking for advice, concerned about doing the wrong thing for their plants. In my book that is being sensitive to a plant's needs.

I always used a pressure cooker for meals when the kids lived at home. It became redundant when there was just OH and me but I used to love it. Also, having been used to cooking with/on an electric cooker and now we have a gas hob, I would not know how to gage a pressure cooker as I don’t like...

I used the granular from Mo Bacter for the first time last year. It did seem to kill the moss, there is less of it this year despite the wet winter.
