Hello, I got into gardening about 2 years ago. My neighbour and I completely transformed our shared back garden. I love growing fruit and veg but also I have a great flare for design and planting pretty plants. I'm looking for someone who wants to have their own garden transformed. If you can fund the materials, I'm willing to do free work in exchange for some of the produce.

Experienced and more importantly safe shooter to help keep down the local rabbit or pigeon populations in the East Sussex area. Fully insured and licensed.

Hi folks, for those of you in England who may be interested in finding out or get involved in Permaculture try this Site especially the LAND Project who knows people from Landshare and the LAND project may join together on a project!
Unfortunately I am not allowed to post the website link???

Hello there, does anybody have any apples or pears that need picking, that would otherwise fall to the floor and the birds? I would very much like to make good use of them! Anything would be much appreciated.

IT WOULD HELP TO KNOW WHERE THE PERSON IS MAKING EACH POSTING. START EVERY POST WITH GENERAL AREA IF NOT OTHERWISE STATED UNTIL SITE UPGRADES SEEMS A GOOD IDEA. E.G. LANARKS, MANURE OFFERED.

I will do my best to answer any questions especially from those growing on a small scale and/or for the first time.

Hi there! For the most part of this year i have been finding it difficult to find work. As a result of this i'm just sitting about idle really getting fat and i was thinking if there were some people in the same area (i don't drive), or west lothian i would be able to offer my services as a labourer. Since the begining of 2003 i've been active in renovating old properties and some historic buildings in west lothian and across scotland. Mostly this has been in a building capacity and have even been to college to do some study on carpentry.... but also in landscaping aswell, and am not afraid to get my hands dirty and plant trees, dig beds or whatever.

If this sounds appealing when the time comes please feel free to contact me and i'll see in what way i can help out.

Hello,
I have no garden of my own but am willing to help others with theirs if possible, thought it would be a nice idea to meet other people as well.
Thank you

Harvest Brighton & Hove is a new initiative that is delivering a wide range of projects across the city to help people grow their own food and eat more local produce.

We are working with a range of partners to increase the amount of food grown in the city: on windowsills, in back gardens, in allotments, and in community spaces like parks and around housing estates. Our local 'Grow Your Neighbours' Own' scheme links up growers with gardens just like Landshare does plus we offer training and advice on what and how to grow.

We also know lots of existing community food projects where you can get involved in growing now, or we can help you start a new one.

We're also scrumping apples from trees around the city to prevent waste and make delicious juices and chutneys. And we’ll be running a programme to redistribute surplus allotment produce to community food projects like lunch clubs and cookery sessions. There are plenty of opportunities to get involved: through volunteering at a project, coming on a training course, or attending one of our community food events. Just get in touch to find out more:

I am offering my pest control services to landowners in and around taunton, who may have a pest control problem with: rats, rabbits, grey squirrels, pigeons, crows, rooks and magpies. The damage these animals can do is unbelievable. I am a fully insured BASC member, am responsible and an quiet and very discrete. If i have offended anybody in posting this, please accept my apologies. In return all i ask is the permission to shoot on your land. Thank you for taking the time to read this. I can also assist with any personal computor needs/questions/maintanance or repairs. Jon

I would like to help and take part in tree planting events in England. I live in London but would be happy to travel on weekends. Please contact me if you need an extra hand!

I am a tree nut and want to join a group where I can share the benefits of woodland use and/or forest products in return for knowledge/labour. Will happily meet with a group out of my area, Essex, but not too far distant please. However, I will be happy to swap messages and give advice.

To all those trying to start a garden, please go to a 2nd hand book stall, or trawl several and buy a (vegetable) gardening book that takes you right through the year. This will include fruit trees, roses, grafting and so on. One may last your whole life and a few certainly should. Gardening on roofs or balconies or in very small places has engendered a lot of books too. Try to get a modern book but no matter, every decent garden centre will soon tell you - if you cannot see - if the product you ask for is out of season or fashion or dangerous and replaced with something else. Just remember, friendly gardeners often garden almost free - you do not need to throw money at everything unless you are impatient but, do buy decent tools, learn to use and look after them safely and properly and do so. Finally, ask locals what kind of soil you have, note what grows best there, consider which direction land faces - cos of the sun, wind and rain - and if it floods - and grow most what you will eat most of using varieties that fruit when prices are highest and, last of all, consider your lattitude and altitude. It could mean planting or cropping up to a month earlier or later than in the books, especially with global warming. Generally, unless still frosty, take gardening diaries back about a week so you sow outside a bit earlier but remember not to be silly, vernal equinox is the same time every year and lots of things do not grow until light levels are increasing.

People are asking questions that they can get answered by visiting a load of allotments. Just by looking you will see that folk get results using free and make-do items like newspapers or bubble wrap. Their little huts contain fruit in store and maybe wine on the bubble as well as herbs, which may be wild roundabout, drying. Take your cue from what others do when and where you are and remember, you can buy almost anything with a bag of spare lettuces or whatever. (You sow them a fortnight apart each waxing moon by the way for a better crop.)
