Good afternoon all,


What IS this total obsession that many gardeners seem to have with junk?


I'm talking about: old baths and tyres, half rotten roof battens, plastic
bottles and discarded carpet.... then there's the 'Blue Peter' greenhouse?


Does incorporating neatly laid paths and raised beds - (and trying out new
and colourful vegatable varieties make me a gardening snob)?


Well, I'm, not - nor am I made of money...... yet the only crap I can stand
in our garden comes from the local stables - and the veg. grows all the
same.


Have fun whatever. ;-)

I'm certainly not a snob and I'm with you Keith, some peoples' gardens
look like something from Steptoe & Son and what with all the recycling
rubbish littered everywhere, their plots or gardens look shabby.

I haven't used my going-to-the-tip-car all over the winter and now
it's become a raised bed for maple saplings and various fungal life.
I think I might take the wheels off for planters and leave the car on
bricks ;-)
