free plants/bulbs/seeds from mag

do any of you regularly send for the free stuff where we only have to pay postage???

i have done this a few times and am always very pleased with what we get.

the Christmas Rose freebie was very good and they were big plants.

have just sent for the Red / White / Blue petunias so looking forward to those.

Successful Compost

i have had a go using kitchen veg peelings,t-bags, egg boxes and grass clippings---i have used an old bucket, covered with plastic and punched some holes, do i need to keep moving from one bucket to another, or is what i am doing wrong and wont work??

what's people in the north west growing at the moment.

red oninons for me---have all sprouted from seed with no problems
