Check this - I've been getting the emails about 'grow your own' since
the first programme, and there's lot of stuff from the RHS and videos
too, for those more inclined on digging deeper.

We were really looking forward to this programme as we are just about
to have a go at growing veg on a plot of land that used to be a gravel
drive.

But like most other people have said it hasnt helped us at all. Its
too .....well......arty farty....

Once we'd removed the stone gravel that covered the drive we hit a
solid patch of clay. When carol said her soil was heavy clay we
laughed our heads off as we had been telling people ours was heavy
clay, but if carols is heavy then ours must be heavy, heavy heavy
HEAVY clay :-)

W have found the TV programme of no use whatsoever to us. :-(

In the past we have noticed that whenever railway sleepers or decking
appear on such a tv prog, the price of said materials trebbles :-(

The TV programme should have been more real life.

Sure, like Carol's friend on the tv who has lots of kids, works full
time and grows veg all over the place? If that's not real life what
is? I've just bought today another 2 railway sleepers at 7 quids each
and 8 scaffolding planks at 8 quids each. Should they be free and why?

Builders merchant on Upper Chorlton Road Manchester and from a friend
who runs a recycling timber business. I'm for ever getting wood from
him. Where do you live?

Lots of friends in timbers indeed, from tree surgeons to artists,
sculptors and joiners, cabinet makers and a husband who would like
nothing better for a present than a nice plank of maple :o) I got him
2 x 5m long plank of cherry (with bark on the edges) from Middlewood
last year. Both plank cost me 14 quids, bred, cut and dried in
Middlewood. It's a nice trip for the day from where you are. My friend
runs it since the 60s. He has become my guru :o)

Where do you live?

Manchester. Give me a couple of days and I'll find you something a bit
cheaper than 25 quids a sleeper in or around Leeds. I'll ask around.

Tina, I'm sorry, I've made a mistake, the new scaffold planks were 8
quids each and the sleepers were 14 quids plus vat, not 7 quids,
telephone 0161-226 9190. I got a number from a neighbour on the lotty
- she's built her beds out of reject sleepers each for less than 10
quids from a place in Nottingham and had them delivered - telephone
0115 9890445. Apparently they didn't have tar or creosote on them too.

Check with my friend John Poole on the link below - he'll do anything
for a sweet voice ;o) The company is called Trim and they're based in
Gorton. Good luck!

you bought TODAY at 7 quids each I don't believe it

and then 1 DAY later

the sleepers were 14 quids plus vat, not 7 quids,

as usual bad and inaccurate advice

:o)) Sorry about the empty post above. I unconsciously thought to

Thanks for reminding me - I've just downloaded the guitar tabs for
'Sad Lisa', such a sweet song, but no sign of my LP ...

I read that as ' claiming you are incontinent'. Definitely a weird day
today. But yesss... you're right my dear Watson, and I'd prefer if you
didn't make reference to it because it's not nice to mock idiots. They
simply can't help it.
