Hi!

I’m a total newbie to gardening. Just starting out on my own garden.
On the way to this forum I found other cool stuff while browsing for gardening advice.
And I found this quite interesting:
Buy Garden plants online from your online garden centre at Coblands.co.uk

Thought I post this in here in case any other newbie would like a plant finder just to get started! =)

LOL! Funny retort David.

It is so annoying to see an attempt at camouflaged spam, especially when
I'm really careful to separate my profession interests from my personal
ones. The two did cross on this group recently but only when the topic
was introduced by another poster. I manage another website which is very
pertinent for gardeners but I won't mention what until it seems correct
to do so.

Doesn't my halo look nice and shiny! :)

The urg charter allows anyone with a garden related business to name
that business in their sig.file. The charter says:
"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)."

NB: The last sentence does say 'participants in discussions' not some
bod wandering in 'off the street'! ;-) I have our business in my
sig.file, so does Charlie have theirs. I think David Hill used to but
doesn't seem to do so now. Cormaic did when he posted here (long time
ago) so it's not frowned upon as long as people are regular posters.

Shame really as their website range isn't at all bad and much cheaper
for a bigger plant than the RHS if they offer it for sale. I had some
ferns from them back when their online site was called Best4Plants.

Well again, the charter does say that garden-related adverts can be
posted every 3 months - I think that's correct - and that the subject
line should say AD. There's nothing wrong with receiving
advertisements interesting to gardeners, imo but spamming by
*pretending* to be a new gardener is a bit cheeky and does imply we're
a load of eejits to be taken in!! ;-)

ISTR such commercial deceptions are also contrary to the TOS at

I'm in touch with him from time to time. Basically, he's just too busy
to spend time here, unfortunately for us!

innit.
