What are any significant attractions in London outside rail zones 1 and 2?
I’m backpacking through Europe and I want to cut down on my London expenditures. If everything is centralized I might as well walk to them and move hostels every now and again or get an oyster card for zones 1-2 — that would save me a good chunk of cash. But if the places I’d like to see are more widespread, getting a card for zones 1-4 or 1-6 would be better.
Thanks!

I think you will do well with a 1-2 travel card. The majority of the major tourist attractions in London are in Zones 1-2. (Trafalgar Square, Big Ben, Houses of Parliament, St Pauls, Monument, Spitalfields Market, Camden Market, London Eye, London Dungeon, British Museum, Natural History Museum, Harrods, Oxford Street, Soho, Covent Garden etc.)
There are a few sites outside these zones, but I would not regard them as the major tourist attractions. It all depends on the sites you plan to visit, but if you are pressed for time and would prefer to see the major tourist attractions, I would say that a Zone 1-2 is perfect.

I want to start a vegetable garden, but I have no idea where to begin!?
I want to start a vegetable garden but I’m not sure where to start.
Any tips on a first time garden-grower?
What type of soil? plants for the season? should i start a compost?
GardenersCardiff answers:
You need to start with the soil. Most veggies want a fertile organic soil that is free of nematodes and other creatures. If you live in the US start with finding out your zone. Use the link I provided to find your location on the map. Your zone will help you determine your planting times. For example, where I am is zone 10 and this is not the time of year for veggies, this is when we work on our beds to get ready for our fall gardens. That means we cover the beds with plastic for a few weeks to sterilize the soil, we add manure or other organic matter, and let the soil rest. Another good resource if you are in the US is the Farmer’s Almanac. It will tell you for your area what to plant and when. It will also tell you when to thin you plants and when to harvest. I’ll give you a link for that. Your county should have an agricultural extension office that will have loads of information on your specific area.

What is an inexpensive way to build a raised garden?
This will be my first time having an actual vegetable garden. I want to build a raised bed. Which materials are better and least expensive? How do I determine the size of my garden? I’m sorry if that is a dumb question haha.
