Thanks for the replies.

Is this predominantly a US forum?


Its international. Like many things to do with the internet there are many
partcipants from the USA. There are quite a few from the UK as a web site
there (gardenbanter) hooks into the usenet newsgroup rec.gardens which is
how the group was established and the main mechanism for promulgation around
the world. The USAians can be somewhat parochial, the banterers can be
quite blinkered. Since you bothered to find out I guess that doesn't apply
to you.

The point is that since gardening is so much to do with soil, climate and
other variable matters it is not wise to assume too much about the basic
conditions of the garden that a poster is typing about.
