Grow Your Own Magazine

I have found this website and it is great, but now I can't find the actual magazine. I don't want to subscribe without ever having seen the mag, so just want to buy one at the moment.

Does anyone know anywhere which has them in the Manchester/Bolton area?
Thanks

tescos keep it round here (London)

Beat me to it Noshed.... Tescos. Again I'm London but it's the only place I've seenit and it seems to be in all my locals....

our local ASDA has it, Warwickshire is getting nearer Blossom

Distribution wise the magazine is available at Smiths, Tesco's, Morrisons, Asda, Co-op and now Sainsbury's. But unfortunately not at every store in the chains. It's just the way the supermarkets run things. Blossom I can send you a copy of mine if you like. Just send me a personal message with your address. Don't post it on the forum.

The PTB tell us that Asda seems to stock GYO in more of their stores than others pro rata. As Lesley points out not all shops in a chain will stock the magazine. In the poll "putting people on the map" one of the questions I asked is if GYO is available locally. Hopefully in time more people will vote and say where they get GYO from.
My local Asda is stocking it but most other stores in Cardiff don't seem to?

I usually buy mine in Asda (Cheshire), but I first found it in a local Co-op.

Thanks very much everyone. I will have another look for it in some different shops then and see if it is available. I have a feeling I saw it in Tasco last time i went, but when I went this weekend there wern't any.

Thanks very much Lesley, if i can't find it I may well take you up on that.

That's probably because it's so fab it sold out... Keep looking, I'm sure you'l get hold of one, or PM me and I'll send you mine

Why not just sign up?? At leat then you have it for the year...plus the free offers of seeds!! (I'm looking forward to the free water butts in the drought season!!! dream on eh??) good value whatever!

Blossom, not many stores around Manchester seem to stock GYO mag., I buy mine wherever I spot it , usually in the local Co-op, sometimes in Tesco. You might find it easier to get hold of now that Spring is on it's way as more newsagents & stores sell garden magazines when the growing season starts in winter it's hard to get even the 'biggies' like Gardeners' World round here.

It is stocked in Smiths, Co-op and Tesco or you could just subscribe!

Hi,

You can get the magazine pre orderd at just about any newsagents in the country. I live near a small post office and they order in my copy especially each month and put my name on it. The problem is with a lot a stores something as specialised as this they generally only tend to only get in a couple of copies which naturally go quite fast. Whereas if you preorder you can guarantee your copy, you don't have to pay in advance and can cancel at anytime (usually up to the week before the latest edition is brought out) It works really well for me.
Good Luck

I usually give a new mag about 12 months and then If I still like it I subscribe.

I knew after four issues that I wanted to subscribe. I've never committed to a magazine before apart from the Radio Times, which is easy to pick up each week. I asked for my subscription as a birthday gift from my cousin in America. She signed me up and it saved her postage costs so was able to spend more on my gift. I keep all the copies and file them to read again.
Jax

Yep, we sell binders -special price to subscribers - as well to keep your mags in pristine condition! (another unbiased opinion Nick!).

GYO is the first mag I have ever subscribed to, so there must be something in it ! Before embarking on my GYO adventure, I used to buy loads of gardening mags but never felt compelled to subscribe to any of them.

Have'nt found GYO mag here in Ireland yet. Does Neil know if it is on sale here? I have been subscribing to Kitchen Garden for the past 3 years and find it really good.

Bramble, click on Neil Martin's name in post #18 and you could PM him to ask if GYO is on sale in Ireland.
Jax

Bramble I can send you a copy of GYO if you want to see if you like it. Just send me a PM with your address and I will put it in the post.
