No idea as to your questions cockneycorrot, but when we subscribed there was an offer running for free binders, which we've still not had, even tho we subscribed back in November! Anyone else had any similar problems?

PS Sorry for tacking this onto your thread!

On the 7th May 07 I asked about how I can get a binder for GYO magazine to keep this years in. Lesley Jay said she would find the answer for me,have not heard anything yet. I will cancel my order if I can't get one. Is it because they are now publishing :Lets Grow Veg: £8 a month which I can't afford.

Can't comment on the binders but the Let's Grow Veg was apparently a one-off

Grow your own binders are so easy to cultivate! You just sow the binder seed and after a couple of weeks an itsy bitsy binder comes up!

No staking is required and with no pests (apart from school kids pinching them) and as long as they are nurtured it shouldn't be long before you have a usable binder.

One of the other grapes will no doubt be able to furnish you with cooking details but as quite a few people are known to 'cook the books' a binder shouldn't pose any problems!

Remember only to sow Rust resistant varieties in the UK as they are highly suseptable and will have to be destroyed if infected.
