Gardeners world Friday 26th

aye, i prefer it since toby took over, he seems to give a lot more tips on how to do things, might not suit the more experienced gardener, but very useful for me!!

 

Thats what i love about this site, nobody knocks anybody , we all look for the most cost effective way to garden ,and "grow your own" is best for all

 

I gave it 5 mins on I player before switching to something else...... 4 more mins than in the past with MD but only to give TB a chance.

Suffice it to say I wont be watching it again.

 

With you on that one Woo I think he is a very good choice for a presenter,what you have to remember Pro a lot of people are just starting out on gardening and to have it presented at a basic level is just what's needed,if you had watched it right through even you might have picked something up. :plant:

 

I think Toby Buckland is great. I've seen him on programmes before and he's done some really nice gardens. I think they should go down the cheap approach as with the recession coming it's appropriate

 

I quite liked Toby Buckland, but the heart went out of GW for me a while ago now.

Just one minor complaint-not about the cheap approach-hurrah!! At long last!!, but with the placement of the greenhouse stuff.

How many people genuinely have a choice about where their greenhouse can go?

I have a good sized garden, and I still have only one place the greenhouse can be.

 

Just thought I would add that one of my customers told me to watch the entirity as Id have a chuckle .....


I certainly did!!!!!!! Newspaper under a box hedge to collect the clippings, they must have been waiting weeks for a windless day to film that stupid tip.

Oh yes the old chestnut about cutting large leaved hedges with secaturs to avoid leaf damadge, a load of utter Boll***. A sharp hedge trimmer cuts cleanly, try doing a 100' long or even 10' long laurel hedge with secauters. Id pay to watch that!!!!!

 

It just ain`t the same without Geoff. I miss that man.
