Hmmnnnn and so say I. KG is much more challenging, but GYO is gentle and kind. Room for both, methinks........

Never seen KG forum....bit like going into a family tree...where do you stop??
Am v happy here.....and will stick with it!!!( might be tempted to browse a little...)but these are my roots now!!

If you want to find an 'abrasive' forum then try the BBC Gardening site. Very good at rowing there. I have been a member there since January and very rarely post now.

I has witnessed several nasty events throughout this year.

This site is much friendlier and has much more interest for myself.

Your comments on the KG site are very interesting - I've never been, just bought the mag (once) hence this thread. Who wants to get aggro when you are asking a simple question? Long live GYO and the Vine - friendly, happy, simple to understand info - and a good laugh as well! DDL

I visited the site as a guest as a result of this thread and there did seem to be quite a lot of sniping going on but that could have just been the couple of threads I looked at - haven't got enough time to contribute meaningfully to another forum so afraid you're stuck with me here!

Stick to this one I say. Much more friendly.

thought i was the odd one out. i like both mags. well, someone has to be different and anyway, who needs excuses to crack a bottle of wine? i thought this was a serious forum???????????????????
jimbo.

You know, I expect I should show my faith to GYO but although my preference is GYO always, as I find it is much more at my level, and I somehow find it a younger, more funky read (is that possible to say about a load of text? ) I also find KG goes into that bit more depth sometimes for me. I also often find though that it totally loses me!

And anyway, we share some of our members across the forums, so we must share at least some characteristics, right? Look at me, the peace keeper!

Ah well, you can't win a coconut everytime ALison I look in on the other place ( sounds like parliment doesn't it) & have been known to chuck my two pennath in but not as much as here.

Bought KG at the airport while waiting for our rescheduled flight to Jersey. Found it difficult to get into, seemed bitty but then I was a little stressed and distracted. Still prefer GYO and like others haven't really got time for more than one forum.

Yes, I stopped buying KG magazine and left the KG forum due to the sparring - life's far too short! Another GYO mag convert, and this forum is friendly and fun! Thank you all for making a newbie feel welcome here

I do both mags as they overlap in skill levels etc and used to post mainly on the Kg forum but have found a home here I think.

So glad you both enjoy the forum here - I've never done another forum (in any interest), but know that my husband (with his interests) has not found forums as friendly and with so many people willing to pass on help and information.

As my veg plot is in my garden, I consider you all my lottie friends! The results I have had in the last year with my veg have been purely down to all the interesting facts and help I have received from you all. So many thanks.

Couldn't agree more - the only problem is that I keep getting new ideas and have totally run out of space in the garden / greenhouse!

It is really nice to know that people find the forum friendly. We have worked hard establishing it and are determined that it will remain the friendliest forum around.

Yes, that's what drew me here, and I agree Alice... My head sometimes wants to explode with all the fab suggestions that get made!

It goes to show my feelings for this place... I was staying in hospital with my little boy a few months back, and I had a night at home and my OH tayed in instead. On my way home I felt reeeaallly lonely all of a sudden, and all I could do to consol myself was to come on the boards here and chat on Gabbly

Alison - you'll have to take the plunge and contact your local allotment secretary - hopefully you'll be as lucky as me! Dexterdog

I did try last year but could never get a reply and then discovered that OH is quite anti me getting one - think he thinks I'm too lazy and he would have to end up digging it for me! Am planning on making a real special effort at home this year as a bargaining tool but am thinking of getting my name officially on the waiting list behind the scenes...................
