As a very keen gardener I thought it might be a good idea if there was a gardening forum on the message board. Don't know if there are any keen gardeners among us, but if there are then perhaps we could share Q's & A's with each other.

I'm a keen gardener so I'd love a gardening thread. :D
Can anyone start by telling me the best place to buy compost in bags up here? I've tried making my own several times but no matter what I do it just seems to end up as smelly mush, :( , not quite how Allan Titchmarsh says it should look!!!!!!!
hi porshipoo best place at the moment is coop 2 big bales for £6. and it is really good compost we used it in our polytunnel last year but this year are using organic we have sourced.
hope this helps
2little2late..think i may of bad repped you instead of good repped , sorry slip of the finger, its a good idea.

Good Idea:

Great idea, was wondering how many of you had snowdrops blooming just now. Early I know, but I've had them since mid January.

No sign of any snowdrops in my garden yet.
And the best compost i've used is the bags out of the coop.

Thanks for the forum. I'm in my element now.
I've tried making my own several times but no matter what I do it just seems to end up as smelly mush, :(
I think you have done an ok job at making it then, it's supposed to have a ripe smell if done properly.:D
is that the one with lots of trees,and a cuple of benches???
No trees sorry but i do have a garden bench and a fantastic patio that i did myself..trees block out to much light.
I would like to have a nice garden but don't know where to start..hopefully I will get a few tips on here now.:o)
You can always start with your grass, unless your lawn is very new, scarify and spike now. Clear any leaves as in damp weather they can harbour fungus underneath and you'll end up with a yellow lawn.
Do you have any borders in your garden connie?
you sound like you know what you are talking about do you want to give me some advice please maybe you could come and see my garden and see what you think .

Hi angela if pm with my address you could you come and have a look at my garden i seem to have that problem with treesand grass .
what is scarfiy and spike angela ?
to spike your grass you should use a pointed piece of rod either wood or metal. breakup the top soils surface (scarify)..it sounds like your garden just needs a good rake:grin:

If anyone is interested in rabbit shavings for their composters please let me know as it supposedly makes brilliant compost. I also have a compost bin full of compost if anyone is interested cos I cant use it all each year lol.
