How lovely that you all respond so positively to my fair trade remarks. I run fair trade stall in various places around the town I live in, we need to value what we have rather than destroy it - I guess that's why we are gardeners huh? Thank you.
Too right Bookertoo, there are so many exploitations that people don't know about. I admit to not knowing much about fair trade but do know about other 'bad things', best not start on here though or I'll get kicked off and am really enjoying being on
The tip broke off my vanilla orchid so what should I do with it now? Its not growing anymore where as before it was going crazy... the leaves are beginning to shrivel...thaks!
In my opinion, there's always room for a rant - so long as it's not a personal attack. The rant to gardening ratio will change once things start happening in the garden.

Thank you Bookertoo. It can be hard to get the true picture, no company wants to tell you who they're exploiting.
In the sticks near Peterborough
You are right T-N and nc, this is a good gardening site - there are others where you can rant about other issues!
