I e-mailed them twice and have yet to get a reply. I can't let something like this go. If I don't get an answer soon I'll contact them by phone. With glaring errors I prefer not to go after them on line , but give them a chance to make a correction. I don't think making a stink "in public" serves any purpose. N
Nancy (and list) What do you do when you find a glaring discrepancy like this. Do you write about it, ignore it or do something else? Have you contacted Horticulture?

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.
