My ISP is filtering out virtually everything posted to rec.gardens so I
am looking for another source of garden related info. Are there any
other garden discussion/news groups that are not clogged with span and
morons?

Perhaps what you need is a different news service.

If you are really with "bellatlantic.net" now known as Verizon they are
*not* filtering newsgroups.

Not too many choices of usenet groups to my knowledge. There are a bunch
of Web Forums. Gardenweb seems to be one of the most active, with very
many garden type specific categories. Pretty decent place to go, **IF**
you don't mind all the cookies that get set on your computer, and the
pop-ups that keep nagging at you for one thing or another. The list of
subject topics is he

Travis, are you sure? What else could account for a dramatic decrease in
message volume?

You might check out www.davesgarden.com . It's moderated with rules,etc.
and has some nice functions once you get around the 'old fashioned'
feeling of the site.

This group is not all that active really and now that it is getting into
winter it will be even less active.

Have a look at Google groups and look at rec.gardens there and you will
see that Verizon is not filtering.

Unless one likes spam it is best to munge your real email address.
Something like this lid or "beeky at bellatlantic
dot net".
