Old Wive's Tales/Tips and Wrinkles
How about running a thread on whether any sayings or tips and wrinkles that seem really strange work. We all know 'Red Sky at Night Shepherd's Delight etc' is normally accurate. Also gardening tips could be here based on companion planting. I know I go on about the French methods but they do have some interesting ideas like letting tomatos climb round runner beans - Brilliant crops from both every year and saves so much space.
Can't find any threads on the Forums relating to tips and wrinkles - Let's start one.
