    Hi i am a student could you please answer my question to help me out with a project.
    i am currently researching into problems found in gardening, the problems could be with tools and their downfalls or it could be problems with smaller things such as maybe something that you find diffiecult to do and could do with some sort of new tool which will aid you.

    Thank you and i will be looking forward to reading your replies

      Yes this sort of question has been asked several times - use the forum search facility or google, type into google something like:

            Not exactly directly gardening related but that pesky WIND that just won't go away this year :D :wallbang:

            On a more serious note, white powdery mildew, not suffored too much with it but once it gets hold just can't seem to get rid until I chop the plant back or remove the leaves...:scratch:, it definitely shortened the growing period of my pumpkin this year as all the leaves were badly affected...

            Something that keeps my 4 tier flimsy greenhouse upright when there are strong winds. Have to loose the bottom shelf just to weigh the thing down.

            It sits on a herring bone patio area against the fence,so can't be pegged down or anchored into the ground easily.

            I like to fill in studend questionaires, and assist students in their studies
            Though these questions crop up every new intake

            I am honestly TOTALLY FED UP of providing the information and NOT getting one thank you in reply, or even a thank you at the end of the thread

            I used to thank my responses in copper plate hand writing with a 3d stamp on the envelope

            Now it is free on the intnet init

            Would you advise your tutors to state this is common etiquette, IF they wish to continue their advice to research on forums
            Wd U advs ur Tut t st8 tis cmn etiq8 F TAY wsh t cntu teir adv on rsch frms

            Could you produce something like AGENT ORANGE for weeds

            Regards Jack McHammocklashing

            Is that a Scottish term Jack, or just your accent?:heehee::heehee:

            I agree with the sentiment. Researching this Forum - or others - can glean the required data, however its much easier to ask a single question and hope that several helpful people will do the donkey work.

            Gardeners Corner is probably on the Project Resource Bibliography by now, assuming no Plagiarism.
