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! =) |

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! -- Wendy Tinley SE Sheffield 4 miles west of junction 30 M1 |

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. -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon www.helpforheroes.org.uk |

I had some ferns from them back when their online site was called Best4Plants. -- Regards, Martin Brown |

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!! ;-) -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon www.helpforheroes.org.uk |
