Why don't you learn to use Google?

What's the point of running a forum if you cannot be bothered to help others?

Thanks, but that is not in the UK.

I don't run the site, and you are through to a News Group , not a forum.
Garden Banter don't answer anything they just ship questions out for
others to answer
Why should we search Google for an answer when you are capable of doing
that yourself

Mr Roberts I am afraid that gardenbanter, where you have posted, is HATED by
the subscribers/contributors of uk.rec.gardening which has received your
posting and where responses have originated.

Gardenbanter copies lots of postings from lots of forums, such as
uk.rec.gardening and the contributors of urg, an abbreviation of
uk.rec.gardening, are a little clique in themselves and do NOT appreciate
outsiders.

Don't rock the boat or you too will be excluded.

Mike

This is not a forum and nobody runs it.

This is an unmoderated usenet discussion group, NOT an obligated
advisory service.

Usenet groups are not the property of gardenbanter, they existed years
before gardenbanter and are completely independent of it.

But.. completely innocent people are posting to GardenBanter, not knowing
they ship the posts out to urg and then get surprised and upset when they
get attacked by urglers.

It's not so easy to get a newsgroup account these days, most UK ISPs don't
support them now so new people might not even know that Usenet exists.

My ISP stopped supporting newsgroups years ago so I went with
news.individual.net but if you came in fresh, so to speak, it will seem
quite OK to post a question on GardenBanter.
I know we all don't like it but instead of making GardenBanter posters feel
small (which they aren't expecting) we should raise the issue with
GardenBanter rather than attack the posters who think they are posting to a
site that will help them. IMO.

Quite right.
But when people are just to bone idle to look up something on google and
expect others to do it for them, then I do wonder if they get someone
else to read the replies for them as well.
People with genuine gardening questions are always welcome, and will
mostly get at least one reply to their query.
People should always give as much detail as they can in their question,
a picture is worth a thousand words, well quite a few. but you can't
post pictures directly to urg, so save then to something like
Photobucket then post a link.
Many of us have a fair bit of horticultural knowledge but none of us
posses a crystal ball.
It helps to say where in the world you are, what part of GB as close as
you can, not just Scotland as the weather and conditions can vary widely
from one part to another.
Soil Type
Position in the garden
Size of garden. I remember having 2 customers come in at the same time
looking for plants for their rock gardens, both said they had a "tidy
size", turned out one was around 6ft by 3ft, the other was over 60ft long.
If in doubt then pace it out before asking the question.
Another man came in for hedging plants, I asked how tall he wanted the
hedge to grow, He dithered for a minute or two raising and lowering his
hand by his side then finally stopped it at waist height and said "About
6ft".

And why don't you learn to stop being such a pompous ****?

I had a chap stop and ask for a certain road the other day. I did tell
him where it was, but perhaps I ought to have told him to get a satnav.

Obviously you've never looked at gardenbanter.

It tells its posters, quote: READ THE FAQ

The FAQ says

This forum is a mirror of a collection of Usenet newsgroups. Usenet
is made up of thousands of news servers all over the world. When you
post your message, it is distributed to these news servers where people
will connect to their own local news server via a News reader and be
able to read your message. Once your message is posted, even if it is
deleted from this forum, copies of your message will still exist on
other news servers around the world permanently.

When they open this 'FORUM' , THE FIRST MESSAGE ON THEIR SCREEN is

Sticky: abc for newcomers to uk.rec.gardening. Please read before
posting to this group. by sysop

IOW Every member of it who comes here in dumb ignorance, does so
because they either ignored or disobeyed explanatory messages on their
screen from gardenbanter.

we should raise the issue with
GardenBanter


I did. Have you?

I suggest you ask that question of the parasites that run garden banter
and for that matter all the other parasitic X-banter sites that pretend
that Usenet content is their own. This is from Usenet != garden banter.

You can buy this Azomite crap on Amazon UK if you are dumb enough to
believe the American hype about its marvellous Organic(TM) properties.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/?ie=UTF8&k...5ntuxtb2w t_p

It might make a difference in fields that have been subject to insane
levels of intensive US industrial scale monoculture for decades.

Basically it is another vastly overpriced scam to separate the worried
well from their money, and it is a *CHEMICAL* albeit something processed
from a naturally occurring mineral. Harmless waste of money unless you
have done something really silly to damage your soil.

It is about as natural as vermiculite or yellowcake.
