I get many of newsletters and scan most of them. I'm looking for fodder for my column and other projects. More and more I question the accuracy. An article on clay busting in the Horticulture Magazine newsletter suggested using Lime as a clay buster. I think they meant Gypsum, which does not work on Michigan clay. My clay tests out at 7.5 so blindly adding lime would disastrous. Nothing was said about soil testing before using lime or suggestions as to figure out how much. Just a note that acid loving plants won't like it. I e-mailed them twice, but they never responded.
