Blatant advertising snipped.

You can't fix a pond with spam.

But to be fair, the charter does say: "Advertising
Advertising is not welcome, with the following exceptions:
Suppliers of UK-relevant gardening equipment, services or plant material
may post a pointer to their website or invitation to request a
catalogue. This may not exceed four lines. This may be posted no more
often than once every three months. The subject line should begin "AD"
or "ADVERT".
Participants in discussions may include references to their
garden-related business in their .sig (max. four lines)."

Their only 'sin' was not to put AD in the subject line.

Although to be pedantic a US based company that does not appear to
supply outside the US probably also falls foul of the UK-relevant bit as
well.
