My grandma's sourdough advice about not overfeeding was actually right

She told me last year to only feed my starter twice a week max, but I kept doing it daily like the blogs said. My bread turned out flat and gummy for months until I tried her way and now I get perfect oven spring every time. Has anyone else found that less feeding works better?

Yeah, my starter actually got way stronger when I stopped babying it.

Ha, I read somewhere that old-timers treat their starters more like rocks than pets and @terryrobinson I think you're onto something there.
