Hello fellow gardeners,

I'm curious to hear your "Unpopular Opinions" about gardening! You know, those thoughts or practices about gardening that might go against the grain or challenge conventional wisdom.

For example--My unpopular opinion is that Swiss Chard, albeit beautiful, is actually pretty lousy to eat. Therefore, if I grow it, it's almost exclusively for looks and not for eating!
Another one--Hot composting, and determining all the optimal ratios to get your pile hot enough, requires too many inputs and gets too complicated for me. Therefore, I'll just stick to my passive practices, even if they are slower!

With that said, I want to know your controversial plant choices, your unique preferences and practices, and what you do differently than others!

So, what is your Unpopular Opinion about gardening?!
