Most of his recommendations are of little to no value and have created more problems then they solved.
What a good healthy soil needs is organic matter and once the soil is put into a good healthy condition then the plants, grasses, flowers, vegetables, trees, shrubs, etc. will grow up strong and healthy.

Thank you for your comments. We have healthy soil, plants and I think that's what makes it harder to evaluate. Is it the potions or is it aerating, compost, Or ALL of the above. Hv lots and lots of worms, never serious pests. I'm sounding like I'm concerned about things being OK, silly, sort of

Nothing I have seen about using the methods he recommends adds any organic matter to soils and that is what soils need. Most everything I have heard from him will cause the soil bacteria to become more active and digest what organic matter is in the soil faster which may cause plants to grow faster, but adding adequate amounts of organic matter is what is needed and most likely is why your plants are growing strong and healthy rather than anything Baker suggests.

I wouldn't say you're out of touch, you're just following a method with some fast/early pluses and long term minuses.

The Jerry Baker method calls for the consistent application of water soluble fertilizer along with some things that will indiscriminately kill or detour insects (soap, etc). Water soluble fertilizers feed plants directly, mostly with high levels of nitrogen. At the end of the day your lawn/plants are little crackheads dependent on you for their Jerry Baker nitrogen cocktail fix. It's a bit of a treadmill.

Plants show excellent greening and growth at the expense of cell structure in this model. The soil eventually becomes depleted of certain trace elements because they aren't being replenished directly and the soil food web starves back a bit, which means it can't keep up with the losses due to rapid plant growth. This all takes a toll on the soil. Disease and infestation are some where lurking around the corner.

A better working model is to feed with water insoluble fertilizers that require a soil food web to break down the elements. Spread some compost and you will inoculate the soil biology, which adds nutrients and minerals that won't burn the plants. Growth is slower and plant structures are denser/stronger. Use a mulching mower and much less fertilizer, water, insecticides, and mowing is required.
