Appreciate that people want to preserve privacy & security as much as possible but could I just urge people please to use the Location field, however broadly, to give everyone else a clue as to where they garden. I know many users have already done this but some, even those with thousands of posts, still haven't. It really does add to the context of any discussions and certainly helps where advice is sought.

I promise you that a broad location (South Manchester for example) and a suitably cryptic Username will not result in forum users (or the BBC) turning up on your doorstep. :)

I play with plants and soil and sometimes it's successful

    Just realised that my location wasn't given @VictorMeldrew so l have added it, albeit in a very general way.
    If anyone is wondering how to do it, click on your username at the top of the page. Top right of the next page is an icon that looks a bit like a head and shoulders. Click on that and you can edit your profile, click save and there you are.  :)

    Yes, it's very useful. The more the specific the better.

    I have a setting where I don't see anyone's one liners - only their location.

    Since joining in January I gave someone the wrong advice, I should have asked which part of the country they lived in. Luckily another forum member was aware from a previous post and let me know. In spring this kind of information is very important when giving advice. Starting a thread with' which part of the country do you live in' is not the best way to start, especially if helping a new gardener who hasn't appreciated the importance of the question
    I have worked as a Gardener for 24 years. My latest garden is a new build garden on heavy clay.

    ...which part of the country, or indeed the world...

    Its an easy question to answer for help, if you are a beginner. I was once asked what kind of soil is in my garden.....er. brown.....  I knew nothing about soil then! Thanks to this forum, I've learned lots.

    Just realised I'd not set the location - hope I've done it now. Thanks for the heads up  :)

    Mines vaguely next to my name,  not that that would help anyone because my climate is more like Scotland at times, Fairygirl and I garden similarly.  Beech grove would be the programme for me. 
    Other parts of Devon grow beautiful palm trees along the roads.
