Post: # 53242Post professorhinky »

Hi everyone, I live in Harrogate and am trying to be kinder to the environment and save meoney in the bargain, however I relaise its hard, and the information seems difficyult to get hold of.

P.S. I've noticed that there are some copies of the eclogist on ebay for 1p!

Is the Ecologist any good?

Hello!

Not read the Ecologist myself.

There is a great wealth of information here about doing just what you want!

A lot of us on here are either parents, students or ex-students, so the money thing is an issue. Most of us are into environmental friendliness too, so you're in good company! :welcomeish:

Hi Professor, from downunder. We have a Professor Walker here, who is a great guru on gardening. He was born in the UK, but has lived here for yonks. Welcome to the forum. You won't need to go anywhere else but here for info on being selfsufficient.
