Lately I have been having some serious issues with having to read posts two or three times just to get the general idea of what the post concerns. Bad grammar, punctuation (or the lack there of), and poor spelling are driving me crazy. Do a little proofreading before you hit "Reply", just a little.
On another note, a lot of new gardeners are just looking for information handouts. Take some initiative and do the research. A lot of the information is already on the web, you just have to know how to use a search engine to find the answer to your question. Years ago we didn't have all of this data at our fingertips, we actually had to go to the bookstore or the library to find solutions to our questions if no one we knew had the answer. Now, granted new techniques have evolved over the past several decades, but in the grand scheme of things growing is growing.
With this being said, we are all still here to help and support each other. It just seems like a lot of the posts are poorly written and repetitive.
Thank you for your time.
