Default Inverted snobbery.... yawn.

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.

It's even worse on some allotment sites.
We have today finished putting down ex-Council 2ftx3ft paving slabs (bloody
heavy they were too!) along all our paths on our plot to cut down on the mud
and so it looks nice.
