Comment by Kerrie on March 11, 2009 at 7:54pm - Sustainability is the new black! Without exception, new clients are asking for raised beds and areas within the garden to create veg/fruit growing. Greenhouses are also in vogue!

Comment by Richard Loader on March 11, 2009 at 8:16pm - Sue and myself have been working on the sustainable thing for many years now.......we have the veggies sorted pretty much. We are now trying hard to get fruit growing reliable - part of that is to get a forest garden up and running

Oh god, what have I started?
Please invite ladies on here, feeling a bit out numbered!! But no talk of petrol fired things that need helmets and anti vibrator gloves. Save that for the boys toy section.

I think you can hold your own here:-0))
Pip Howard asked for this group to be started and I am not so sure what took us (me) so long. I think it is one of the most active groups in the shortest possible time since we started.
I am looking forward to some suggestions/posts/experiences and suggestions.
