Reduce! Reuse! Recycle! It's the new mantra. What are you doing, and how are you doing it, especially in your garden! Do post pictures!

Hi All! I started my worm compost 3 weeks ago. So far so good! I am just using a thick foam cooler (Frozen steaks came in) I put lots of holes in the lid, and around the upper sides of the cooler. I then cut strips of news paper and a large recycle…

Hi Sondra. Thank you for the compliment on my page. Welcome to KGI. I see you're settling in just fine, joining groups and leaving comments. Comments are the best way to meet folks and make friends here, and I think you've already picked up on that! I'll look forward to seeing pictures of your gardening efforts when you get a chance to post some, and reading about all that you are doing (in blogs and discussions). Have a great time! And best gardening wishes! mwf

Hi Sondra Simmons, welcome to KGI. I'm sure you'll find the site interesting, we're a pretty friendly bunch. You'll find all manner of discussions in the forum (follow the link in the top navigation bar) and there is also a notes section where I can put stuff that may be of interest to members. At the moment there are one or two "how to" articles and a whole range of recipes. (follow the notes link)
If there is anything I can do then please, just leave a message on my page.
 
 

KG Day - Help us choose a date!

Kitchen Garden Day has traditionally been celebrated at the end of August which is a great time for gardens in temperate, northern climates but not a great time for many other gardeners around the world (e.g. August is winter in the southern hemisphere, monsoon season in India, too hot for many gardeners in southern states, etc.).

We're exploring the possibility of changing the date to the spring and would like your input. Please answer our poll here.

I think this might need it's own category, don't you? Tomatoes are one of the most popular things to grow and we've been placing them in all kinds of groups, but the fact is we almost all grow them, and they have specific needs.

HOW TO - ADD A LINK

Several people have experienced difficulty putting working links into comments and blogs etc and I know it is clumsy.... so here is how you do it.....

First type the text you want to appear....  ie  IAN'S PAGE

Then go back and highlight the link text.

Then hit the hyperlink button...a pictogram of a chain link.

Your browser may intervene and request permission to allow temporary scripting or some similar message.   Allow it and go back and highlight the text again

Forum Policy

Hi, I'm starting to put together a few guidlines on using the discussion forum on here.

I would be happy to hear any comments you may have.  This is very much a work in progress so plese feel free to ask me to add anything you think is needed.

I don't want to make our community hide bound by rules and regulations but I think that, as the community has grown, some explanation of what is expected is needed.
