GardenersCardiff answers:
OK it’s getting late. Here is where I’d start:

You do know that most magazines are really better at ‘branding’ then selling right?
Whatever one(s) you choose make sure they are AUDITED. If they aren’t take your money and run.
If you need layout work for your ads we do that as a side and are very reasonable. Just drop me a line if you’re interested.
David asks…
UK only – is Organic Gardening magazine still going?
I used to buy this, now i have a garden again I can’t find it anywhere – or a website. Did it fold? I’m sure I saw a copy in a newsagents not *that* long ago, but having searched literally dozens of newsagents over the past couple of months it seems to have disappeared
/sigh – the american link is of no use/relevnce whatsoever – hence UK in the title
Nope – not the Hdra newsletter. This magazine was available in newsagents; it was monthly. Until the last year or so it had a ‘rustic’ look (non-glossy paper etc), then it had a bit of a makeover
GardenersCardiff answers:
This one seems to be available, but not online yet.

Ken asks…
is there a gardening magazine published in scotland?
GardenersCardiff answers:
It is important for keen Scottish gardeners to be able to get their hands on a magazine which is written by people interested in gardening in Scotland who actually understand the conditions (which you’ll be well aware are very different from other parts of the UK)
‘The Scottish Garden’ is a quarterly glossy magazine which was first published in June 2003. It’s pretty much the only printed option.
Since you apparently have the internet, I would suggest that you check out the homepage of The Beechgrove Garden. Based in Aberdeen and featured in the long running gardening show of the same name, they have a website with access to 9 years worth of Beechgrove Garden Factsheets. That’s over 200 factsheets packed with Scottish gardening information.
Http://www.beechgrove.co.uk/home/
While the show’s on the air, they provide new factsheets each week. Information about the programme and the presenters, and a complete tour of the garden.

Gardening magazines for beginners?
My mother just got really into gardening and I would like to get her a gardening magazine subscription as a gift. I know nothing about gardening or gardening magazines and was wondering if anyone could recommend some. I would like to get her a magazine that has a lot of “how-to” type of articles since she is still trying to learn at the moment. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks!
Thanks for the info guys. Yes, I’m aware everything is online(for anything really). I’m a forums, DIY kind of guy myself. My mother on the other hand is pretty old school. I also think she would just like to have the magazines to read.
GardenersCardiff answers:
Check out Organic Gardening Magazine. Lots of useful information for beginners and experienced gardeners both.

William asks…
How do I plant an organic garden?
I’m planning on starting my own organic garden, I’ve never been successful at growing much. My strawberries always get eaten by bugs. I’m pretty sure we have good soil here, (I live in washington), but I’m not sure how to keep pest out.
May I add that I’m not an experienced gardener so helpful answers are appreciated, instead of rude sarcasm. Thanks!
GardenersCardiff answers:
Organic gardening is just gardening with out the use of chemicals. Yes, there are alot of products you can buy from nurseries and even Walmart that say they are organic but what they really are is just a waste of money. Do a search on the internet for tips on organic gardening in your area. There is an Organic Gardening Magazine you can subscribe to. The forums on GardenWeb are very helpful also. Jerry Baker is an author of a lot of helpful books for using household ingredients to battle the bugs and other diseases. Amazon.com has his books new and used. He uses dishsoap and alot of of tobacco juice LOL. I have used some of his recipes and they do work.
Jenny asks…
How to dispose of old cards and magazines?
I have a bunch of cards, and magazines I need to rid of. What do I do with them? I don’t think I should just throw them in the garbage and I don’t have paper recycling.. Should I just put it with cardboard and plastic recycling? Help please, and thank you.
GardenersCardiff answers:
A good place for recycling magazines is a nursing home or possibly a clinic. Of course you would ask if they could use them. A kinder-garden or day care may want the cards.
Steven asks…
Do you think it reallly pays to have a home garden with all the expense and work?
I see many of my friends and neighbors with their home gardens, and somedays it seems to me that they are not really saving much? But maybe there is something I am missing. Do you think home gardens are really worth all the time, energy and expense?
There are a couple of exceptional answers here, and I will need the community’s help with this one!Thanks for the time and information!

GardenersCardiff answers:
From a purely economic perspective, depending on the type of things you grow and their cost in your area, one probably saves some money. Here in the midwest, I grow tomatoes and peppers, which can be pretty expensive, but not corn as it takes a lot of room and is very cheap in the late summer. Our garden is relatively small, I don’t own a rototiller, and only apply fertilizer once or twice a season, so my costs are low compared to my neighbor who has an elaborate watering system, fencing to keep rabbits out, a complicated trellis for beans, and fancy tomato cages.
From a time and labor perspective, it depends on the person, the size of the garden, the amount of detail you want to put into it, the amount of preparation in the spring, and the fastidiousness you exhibit during the growing season. My neighbor takes a more detailed, fanatic approach than I do. I simply hand till the soil, plant, and fertilize in late May. Then it’s a matter of watering and keeping the weeds down during the summer. So for me, it really isn’t much work. For others, it’s a lot of effort, for what seems, on the surface, as not much payoff.
But there’s obviously a lot more to it than that. I take a commuter train to work in Chicago every day, so when I get home, I find it very relaxing to putter around in the garden, and really enjoy being outside without the stress and noise of the city. I don’t get all philosophical and feel I’m closer to the earth, or communing with Mother Nature, I just like the peaceful setting, watching things grow, and the challenge of keeping the pests and weeds at bay.
Things taste a lot better when you’ve grown them yourself, especially compared to tomatoes that are grown on corporate farms to have a longer shelf life and be resistant to bruising, not for flavor. You also know the things you’ve grown don’t have any harmful chemicals or toxic substances in or on them. Friends and family are highly appreciative when you can give them fresh produce that you raised yourself as it is a very personal gift, and better tasting than that from the grocer. When I take tomatoes and peppers in for my coworkers, the folks that live in apartments really seem to enjoy them. It beats buying a box of donuts (mmm, donuts).
So it kind of depends on the person. I don’t spend any money on gardening books, magazines, and home videos. I don’t own any fancy equipment or elaborate systems, but a lot of people do, because they like the challenge of getting the most out of their garden and making it as efficient as possible. It doesn’t have to be a labor intensive activity unless you want it to. You’re probably right, in that some folks expend so much energy in their gardens, that it may seem too much for not enough payoff, but I bet they would have a different opinion. In February, when I can take some green pepper out of the freezer to cook with, I’ll know that it’s $3 a pound at the supermarket and mine will even taste better. It’s like any activity, there’s those are way into it and seem to take it to the extreme, and that may be the kind of people you’re referring to. But I think most folks take a more pragmatic approach and do the work that’s necessary while deriving a great deal of joy from the effort and the results.
