best advice was when I was on the Growing From Seed forum and someone directed me to Winter Sowing - I went there, did the wintersowing that year it was the best thing I ever did and has changed my life

Use a good spell checker and/or be very careful not to sound like a student. Some purists will flame one for not spelling correctly or for sounding like a student.

Best or worst advice?? LOL!

"Toss some alfalfa meal into your beds. It contains an amazing plant stimulator."
"Mix some organic rye flour with some filtered water and leave in a warm place and you will soon have your own starter going which will make the most wonderful bread."

You see the Garden Web has many forums.

albert, I'd like to make a comment about your post. It worries me that gardenwebbies might think that a gentle correction of the spelling of a plant name is done with unkind intentions. I will make a point of giving someone the correct spelling, because it can be important in looking information up, or in pronouncing a plant correctly, or in asking for that plant at a nursery. I can't imagine anyone being put off by that kind of correction.

Now, if you're talking about general spelling (or grammer, for that matter)....I'd get a bit irked about that, lol. Especially since I'm terrible about typos, myself!

I believe that we are ALL students here. There are never any silly questions nor can any basic question be asked too many times. Patience, kindness, as well as the spirit of sharing information and knowledge is the prevalent theme in all of the forums that I frequent.

I think that one of the most beneficial things I've learned is about Neem oil and it's many uses. I am also AMAZED when I go into the 'Name This Plant' Forum, where there are so many terrific identification experts.
