Man, that hits home hard! I did the same thing after a customer told me they skimmed my last email and just wanted the bottom line. Trimmed everything to three bullets and a call to action, and suddenly they were actually responding instead of asking for clarification.

Carbon monoxide from a cracked heat exchanger? That could've killed you.

Admit something for me. Did you actually check the moisture level in the soil before you added the compost, or did you just assume it was a watering problem? I only ask because I did the exact same thing with my raised beds, tossed in a bag of compost and suddenly my peppers looked great. Then I dug down six inches and realized the real problem was the clay underneath acting like a bowl, holding water that never reached the roots. Compost helped, sure, but it was masking a drainage issue that I should have caught months earlier. Just wondering if you tested the dirt first or if you're riding on Hank's good word like I did.
