There is not a need to rethink what has proven to have worked for years in gardening, and yes it is an ongoing process........and learning.
I've spent 50 years learning from the best, and have learned a lot from growing vegetables, tropicals, succulents, Reef Fish tanks, Chickens, Fresh water tanks including raising Tilapia, Bonsai, and still do them all at present. I've been scoffed at by some other gardeners in the past with some of my concepts personally,...and have developed and proven (while I have see them try to prove to me why their methods worked and looking at nothing in their gardens), that mine seem to be fairing much better indeed.
The proof is in the pudding as I have likely said in the past. It takes years of experience to prove our conjectures and thoughts. I think researching is a great gift we have these days, and better ways are always possible...................That can be scary..............I love my old seed collected from heirlooms and once grown don't need a new hybrid for instance. These plants work better and better in any locale once established and localized. There is not a need to always be looking for a better way until we prove there is a better way.
Looking forward to your successes and pictures of your gardens this new year.
