Author Topic: Split Edible Plants? (Read 9449 times)

Hi All,

I've been asked a few times about splitting this board into different ones for different edible types, you know herbs / vegetables / fruit etc.

Well I think it is now busy enough to warrant it, but would like your input.

Let me know what you think, what the split could be, and anything else really!

Looking forward to your thought.

Dan.

I would like to see Fruit & Vegetables as seperate entities, with a possibility of subdividing the vegetables into Propagation & Growing.

Admittedly Propagation is well on its way for this season so this might be a thought best left till next season.

I'm in favour of a split into 'Fruit' and 'Vegetables & Herbs'.

If this goes ahead I look forward to seeing where questions about tomatoes are posted. ;D ;)

I’m going to have to say, I like all the edible plants grouped together ;D

I normally check-in a few times a day and just scan the main page for new posts in edible plants, if it was subdivided into several sections I probably wouldn’t check in so often as it would take longer…. Lazy? Yes, but honest!

I'd go for seperating Fruit and Veg. I don't really see the need for a section just for Herbs. Having said that, I quite like it the way it is too :-\

I don't think either fruit or herbs get enough posts to justify a specialist board for either.

well i'm all for it. wil make it easier to find topics...

Yeh i think its a good idea, makes it easier for folk to post in the correct board.

Yes - although not extensively - just two separate sections for fruit and veg would do I think :)

Works for me how it is. Although it is busy on here, it's mainly related to vegetables & I don't see how you could sub-divide this to aid navigation...

I have little involvement with fruit, but can see that those who do, may find the current arrangement a tad busy to follow threads ... similarly for herbs ... garlic is an interesting one - I allocate more space to garlic than to courgettes :D

Yes I think sub boards or whatever is the way forward ...

Another Board I went to at the demise of the old Beeb site in its last format had so many subdivisions I just didn't bother after a while so I'm voting 'no'. Surely enough that the title line is explicit enough?

And where would we ask about tomatoes? :P ;D

Curryandchips · « **Reply #13 on:** April 05, 2007, 09:06:43 »

or rhubarb ?

Teej · « **Reply #14 on:** April 05, 2007, 09:17:00 »

I've voted no - I don't post on here much but I read it an awful lot & I think it's working well as it is. Quite often there are posts about growing veg which then spin off into discussing fruit too which I personally think makes for a more interesting forum.
I also agree with Truffle's comments!!

happy as it is ... agree with Alishka

but a 'splitting into Fruit and Veggie might be good

I am choosing not to vote as either way would work for me.

As it is now most of the active threads are on the first couple of pages so are easy to find. That being said if it was split into separate sections it would be quicker to search for old posts relating to your question & it would be clearer where to ask for help on a specific subject.

If it was split it would take ages to sort through the current 281 pages of threads & decide where to place them which is an awful lot of work for Dan to do. Do people really think it is fair to ask him to do that?

Adding to the list of plants difficult to define bananas are herbs which produce edible berries so where would they go?

It' going to be a 'no' from me - I'm with Truffle on this one, I also just click on and off at various times of the day and find it suits me to only have a couple of sections to check on. :)

I do agree as well that it would be a lot of work for Dan to sort the 'previous' out! :-\
