Advantages: looks nice

Disadvantages: articles are too brief/shallow

I started gardening 'seriously' at the beginning of this year, and bought a lotof the magazines out there for information and inspiration.

This was one of the most highly recommended, but I'm afraid I found it rather disappointing.

It does look very nice, but that's rather part of the trouble. It seems to be more about glossy pictures of plants and posh gardens than articles which actually tell you to achieve these ends!

I did buy several copies, because people kept assuring me it was the best, but I found they were all pretty much the same, pretty without any substance.

The only in-depth stuff there was featured things like pretty technical water features; there didn't seem to be a lot of basics.

Personally, I'd also have liked to see a more organic approach. I'm not entirely opposed, I don't think, to using chemicals, but this magazine seems to have an emphasis on spraying something at every opportunity!
