None!

My wife has a few, Cath Kidston and Mollie Makes ring a bell..

I'd prefer a digital copy (i get a newspaper daily, on my ipad which is quite cool - saves paper and all that). Are you listening/reading, GYO eds?

A pal just told me she 'reads everything online' - how on earth can you take that into the bath or to bed with hot chocolate!

I only get 'Home Farmer'.... I have been getting them for 3 years... but after about a year, I take the mag apart and file the bits that I want (recipes, chook info, craft makes etc)

My OH takes her copy of Country Homes & Interiors into the bath with her, its never the same afterwards, all buckled and curly.

I have GYO, and KBB and The smallholder, but I only tend to look at the pictures really. I like to read the property news and my parents Saga magazine though I'd never tell them that.

OH goodness, this is our weakness!

We got a lot of special offers which are about to expire, (

) you know the "3 mags for �3 and 5 mags for �5"
Between us we get:
GYO
History Mag
CountryFile
Gardeners World
Dr Who Adventures (This is my 8 year olds...honest!!)
Good Food
Olive
Photoworks
and Prof Photographer (although this was a gift sub from a well meaning rellie, and I actually dont really open it as its mainly full of 'glamour')
I also buy Black and White Photography when I have the money.....plus any that catch my eye, but I try not to go into newsagents or down the mag aisles in supermarkets!!!

Infact I dont think I'll look at the rest of this thread, as it might give me ideas!

I get RHS - The Garden every month but never read it

Its too posh for me!
I recycle them to the Doctors surgery every couple of months

**veggiechicken** · 01-11-2011, 06:05 PM

Would anyone living near Cardiff like a great pile of Grow Your Own magazines - probably starting with the first issue? I haven't been able to just send them to recycling, but I will Freecycle them soon if nobody here wants them. I also have Kitchen Garden and Gardeners World back numbers which really must go. I need to reclaim by cupboard!

Tempting Veggiechicken but BH would kill me if I said yes.

Live dangerously!

I usually prefer to get a book out of the library than buy endless mags (full of ads), but I do get:

- International Artist
- Burda Style (40 free sewing patterns in each one)

I hate clutter, so I eBay them once I've read/copied the bits I want

**veggiechicken** · 01-11-2011, 06:50 PM

Like you Two Sheds I think books are better value than mags. I buy books from the various online book retailers many of which can be bought for less than the price of a magazine. Most of the magazines I've tried seem to be scratching around for something new after a year or two. Having said that I still have magazines as part of membership subscriptions to the RHS, Garden Organic, Cottage Garden Society and subscribe to Permaculture and Living Woods.

I just bye Amateur gardener each week, and GYO each month. Maybe anthing else that looks interesting Veg wise.
