For someone with a college education he certainly is a dunce. It would be interesting to get hold of his gardening book (although I for one will be waiting for it to come into our local library, I won't waste my money on it).
I wonder if he realises that there are some very, very clever people on here, although I doubt it, as the more you know, the more you realise there are gaps in your knowledge. Also, you don't need a college education to be a good gardener. My Mum left school at 14, and is one of the best and most competent gardeners I know. A friend of mine has dyslexia and so has no academic qualifications, yet he is a mountain leader, and has taught himself programming, and regularly has conversations with me (university-educated programmer) that my husband (degree in engineering and masters in Education) can't follow.
So College or University educated people can still be daft, it just means you're good at passing exams. Common sense is not common, unless you're talking to a gardener. I've never met a gardener that has a lack of common sense. Not a successful gardener, anyway.
