Default Grow your own contributors - anyone?

Hi all,
I just received an e-mail from a forum administrator informing me they're going to use a tip of mine in their September issue and wish to receive my contact details so they can send me a £10 voucher to Thompson-Morgan
I just wanted to ask, has anyone else received this? I'm always a little dubious with things like that especially when it comes to my contact details.

New Bud who sent you the email? GYO do do this, so it' probably very genuine, but if you're unsure PM me the email address and I'll confirm it for you.

If it's from @aceville.co.uk that's GYO

Cheers
Shortie

No need... Sara's definately one of GYO. Reply away and congrats on getting the voucher and your name in the mag!

It's good to check though if you're not sure

Thanks Piskieinboots.
Phataff, they "liked my tip on growing in innovative containers". I posted a thread called "Innovation with a capital "I"" about the "mini alottment" I made from a huge box in the attic by lining it with bin liners inside and out then putting drainage holes in and standing it on two bricks, filling it with soil and puttin seeds in it!

It's worked to! I got two carrot shoots this morning
