Whilst I love this kinda stuff I have to admit describing things as systems and the like felt extremely buzwordy as if to make people feel like it was deeper than it actually is.
I also feel like a good few of the things people did seemed like things invented or perpetuated by influencers so they could keep yapping on about something.
Vermiculture is something I do for example. It makes no sense from a time/ effort perspective on a small scale compared to other composting methods but I liked that what i got out of it as amendment for my potting was at least weedfree by virtue of my own sorting and went trough it all relatively quickly. If I had to restart on my plot I wouldn't bother but hey it was fun and whilst a good part of of my garden is extremely productive I also grow some stuff that takes waaay too much effort for what I get out of it just for fun.
But people are out there taking it to extremes without any second thoughts about whether it works and swear by it and end up dogmatic about things like compost teas.
All fine and dandy when it's a little hobby but when it becomes more than that I hope most can differentiate between actually useful things and barely usefull gimmicks pushed by people selling more books and courses than veg.
