Does Sacha Hubbard own this newsgroup?

That sounds the sort of leading question a troll would ask, since you
will already know the answer.
There are several very frequent posters on this group who give up a
lot of their own time to help less knowledgeable gardeners. Sacha is
one of those highly respected people. I am one of the many grateful
beneficiaries of their advice I and hope that they all, including
Sacha, will continue to post frequently.

Now that I have answered your question, what positive contribution are
YOU prepared to offer to this NG?


Is this where I blush? Thank you for those kind remarks. There are a lot
of very helpful posters here and I'm flattered to be included among them on
this one occasion and feel that I must add that some of this advice comes
from my husband who knows a lot more than I do. I try always to remember to
credit him when he's stepped in.
I just think we need to look at the recent interchange from the disgruntled
to see who's led to this. ;-(
One of the many things I like about urg is that *everyone* has something to
contribute, from the rank beginner who's just bought their first spade, to
the donkey's years old professional. To me, that's urg's great strength
- the opportunity for all of us to learn from each other. All my gardening
has been done in the south west of Britain. I learn a lot from those
gardening elsewhere and I'm grateful for it.
