I'm also a fan of keep-it-simple composting. I find the natural garden cycle gives you the composting ingredients you need when you need them. People with $400 compost tumblers have too much money.
I'm OK with kale and quite like chard, but arugula can go extinct for all I care.
I feel like I'm wasting my time and money if I grow something that I can get cheaply at the market.
But my biggest apostasy is I refuse to baby my crops. If something isn't easy to grow, I'm not spending a lot of time on it. Darwinian gardening.
