Ever since I first got in to gardening I keep finding myself becoming increasingly annoyed at capitalism-led Big Gardening.

Every single gardening guide tells you to buy compost and amend your soil. It's why anybody who says that they grow their own to save money gets scoffed at. In a regular allotment or garden you probably have an excess of nutrients. Cut Big Gardening off.

(I'm sorry I get irrationally angry after reading gardening magazines)

Most definitely! It’s not just big gardening, it’s percolated through all facets of the gardening world. My advice always is soil test, soil test, soil test! Don’t trust verify!
