If you can get hold of a newsreader program and read it as a newsgroup, you'll find it a lot easier. For example, when threads bifurcate, you'll be able to follow each strand separately, rather than all muddled up as in gb, ad you'll be able to look at just the new posts that have appeared since you last looked at the group, rather than try to find them embedded higgledy-piggledy amongst the rest of the posts. But yes, it's absolutely the right place to post, with lots of knowledgeable people on here with all sorts of different areas of expertise.

You cam here through Garden Banter and I guess you didn't read the info that's buried there. I visited GB for the first time today (to discover where you were from) and must admit that I won't bother again. This isn't because I can't be bothered but rather because the way Garden Banter presents things is, for me, confusing and difficult to work through. GB is, I suppose, a Forum. It's paid for by advertising (which is why you see so much of it). But when you send something to the UK Gardening area, GardenBanter's system simply sends it on to something called "USENET" and it comes through to something called a "NEWSGROUP" which is, in this case, us. If you don't understand the words in CAPS, type them into your search engine and you'll find out. Anyhow, here we are in the UK.REC.GARDENING NEWSGOUP looking at a post from someone called floydie-pink. I've told the group you're in South Yorkshire (though if I hadn't made a one off visit to GB we would not have known). Where you are is important. There are things that can grow in the warmer down-south places which won't grow up-North. It can also help to know which direction your bit of ground faces. There are plants that will grow happily in a west facing garden but which can be destroyed by the morning sun in an east facing one. And there's a major debate going on - are you a him or a her? We're not sexist; just nice to know! So please come back and tell us a bit more about yourself. Once we know all the ins and outs of your bit of land, you'll find we're all ready to help. Are you planning to lift the pavers for example? Do you want to grow vegetables or just flowers? How much time do you have to devote to the garden? There are high maintenance and low maintenance gardens. It's over to you. We're all waiting. Cheers Jake |
