I think the show is aimed more at people of all ages and experience learning something new, whether it be completely new ideas or revamped old ones. Keep it coming, I love the new show, it seems to be more on the lines of Geoff Hamilton, and he was the one who got more people interested in gardening and took the mystique out of it.

you know, I'm confused ... earlier this week I replied to someone re a weed they had on their allotment - I wondered if they were describing what I know as Mare's Tail - I tried to find something on this website to link to, but the closest I could get was the rhs website, so posted a link to there. Next think I know it's deleted - presumably cos I was linking to a competing website??? But the likes of the above, and dubious websites re oddly shaped carrots are allowed. Doesn't seem fair to me.

Hello Lainey,
Sorry to hear about the problem you had with your comment regarding mare's tail/equisetum. We certainly didn't delete it, but occasionally our spam filters can be a little over-efficient, and divert 'legitimate' comments. I've checked and can't seem to find the comment you've referred to. I can only suggest you repost your comment. Apologies again, and please don't be deterred from commenting on the GW blogs - we love reading what everyone has to say!
Regards,
Daniel,

I think the post you are reffering to Lainey is on Jane Moores Blog Weeds on the Allotment. Hope this helps:)

Thanks Web Team and Simpson for your replies. I see that the post which prompted my rant has also gone. I wasn't referring to message number 3 from lilwead, just in case anyone was wondering.

Yes Simpson, I did post on the Weeds on the Allotment thread. My reply to 'anonymous' is no longer there, tho they did get another reply.

Changing the subject - a suggestion for the Web Team - there are a number of posts discussing the new series of GW - some positive, others not so positive - most of which don't really belong under the blog subjects. Would it be possible to start a new blog re the new series to allow people to express their opinions and where all interested parties can take part, and express their views?

Hello Lainey,
Re: discussion of the new series of Gardeners' World on BBC2, the best place to have your say is on the message boards at bbc.co.uk/gardening:

Can I make a suggestion then Daniel? The next time other users start posting threads related to the tv series under blogs which have no relation whatsoever to it, you post this link to that website for their benefit.

Perhaps, Lainey, you could stop being so peevish, and find something more important to gripe about.

Fair enough Margaret - I was in a bit of a minging mood yesteray. I will try to be less so.

I dont know if this has been thought of by anyone else but if you have a plastic compost binb it is very easy to fold a fly trap into the underside of the lid which will trap any white fly etc. They work very well in the greenhouse so why not give them a try on top of the compost
