 * Dear Mr Ollie, that is a pity. My contributions were not promotional in any way. Rather they were designed to broaden the definition of the term "Horticulture" beyond the very limited understanding of the term which is evident in the definition on the page that existed before I made my edits. Both the Chartered Institute of Horticulture and the International Society of Horticulture Science have adopted this definition. Perhaps I should have used a reference from one of my published papers Suppressive composts in Organic horticulture: fact or fiction? (see Eur. J. Hortic. Sci. 82(6), 263–276 | ISSN 1611-4426 print, 1611-4434 online | https://doi.org/10.17660/eJHS.2017/82.6.1 | © ISHS 2017) to ground the definition? This is available at https://www.pubhort.org/ejhs/82/6/1/82_6_1.pdf Owen 86.41.211.53 (talk) 13:18, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
