The Value of This Forum

[headfullofbees]

Here, I have learned so much about front-line, state-of-the-art, organic gardening techniques, and been able to use these techniques to such good effect on my allotment plots, that I have been approached by the committee to do a series of lectures on some of these excellent techniques, as not only I, but the committee itself has been approached by members wishing to learn some of them.
A number of fellow growers have stated that my plot is the most productive by far and that my veg are earliest to harvest, which is important in our relatively short season, as it hugely increases total yields.
The organic techniques I've learned here are easily out-producing petro-gro, and the interest they are stimulating here is heart-warming.
Everyone who contributes to this board deserves some of the credit, and you can be sure that you get a mention when my plot is praised.
I think it shows one thing I was right about; don't proselytise, just do your stuff and let them come to you.
YOU have made a difference!!!

That's good of you to say so Bees

I've only been at it since I was 7 and i'm still learning

Long may it continue.

I have also learned a lot from this forum and I hope I am doing my share in contributing useful information on gardening. I am not really a gardener, just a backyard farmer who loves to eat fruits and vegetables. By the way, we just harvested a basket of star fruit. Unfortunately, I forgot to take a photo, sad. Maybe I can do that on the next fruiting.

For the average home vegetable gardener what, in your opinion is the single most helpful or important technique that will insure success? And why?

I have learned a lot from the forum and I like sharing what I know with others. I have been gardening since I was about 8 off and on. I love my house plants and always have house plants in my home.

I too have learned a lot and find this forum very inspiring. This, along with the many survival and unplugged living shows I watch, I feel like I may actually have the smarts to take care of myself if I ever really needed to. It has been nice to learn from you all because I will be buying a house soon and can't wait to spread my gardening wings even further than I have already.

Headfulofbees, congratulations on having such successful gardens, and for being willing to share your knowledge with other gardeners! Let us know how the lectures go--famously, I'm sure.
When you are not available for quick advice, you might steer some of the other gardeners to this site--quick replies and encouragement.

I love participating here for this very reason. Despite being on the forum for only a relatively short period of time, I've already read a lot about ways to improve my yields, veggies that would be easier to grow than others, what my hardiness zone is (hadn't even known of the term before) and things like that.

Information sharing is such a wonderful thing!
