Compo I am a 39 Year old bloke, I was a lot wilder in my youth than I am now (well slightly), I could be a bit of a bad lad at times, some things I've done I'm not too proud of. That is the point, I think, some, and not all, of the youth today have no pride, no respect and no dreams for the future. ...

Rather than finding the regulars on the forum intimidating, I enjoy reading all the posts, sometimes better than the mag, and in g...

Strawberry plants are just like weeds, they just keep coming with little effort, use your original plants and use the runners for a good crop next year and an even better one the year after

We need help and motivation

Hi all, My wife and I have 2 lottie plots and due to my wife having whiplash for 6 months and some personal problems, we haven't done much this year. We've got a few tatties, beans, sweetcorn etc in, all of which are not doing much because it's so over grown. We've just been up to sort the chickens ...

I can't grow carrots (well straight ones) to save my life.
