I've taken No 4.

I think you can attach them onto a PM.
Title: Re: FREE Gardening Guides
Post by: supersprout on January 01, 2007, 19:13:12
Yes, save the document to your computer then attach to an email - has to be a private email addy, can't attach in pms.
They're already doing the rounds! ;D

oo amazin, just seen your post - how do you attach docs to pms? ???

Sorry to disappoint, Supersprout -  I was sure I'd put attachments on PMs before.
Title: Re: FREE Gardening Guides
Post by: Georgie on January 01, 2007, 19:33:20
Amazin, you can attach pics to PMs in the same way as you can cut and paste them here on the forum.  I can't see how to attach files tho'.

If anyone's nifty with pooters, I've been told that the site leaves a cookie on your pooter and if you get rid of the cookie each time you download, it's ad infinitum ... wahey!!
Title: Re: FREE Gardening Guides
Post by: Amazin on January 02, 2007, 12:09:33
Just tried it - cleared my cookies and went to the site - it allowed me one more, but then it got wise!

Just come into this thread
Has someone got them all yet?
If so if they email them to me I can put them on a spare bit of webspace for all to download direct (after zipping etc to reduce downloading time)

Title: Re: FREE Gardening Guides
Post by: glow777 on January 02, 2007, 12:26:27
there probably would be - but we'll call them something else and remove them after a week or so  ;D

I have 9 files for download from a "secret location"  :o
PM me for the address
single zip file is about 8.5mb so probably not to good on dial up!

I will delete in a week or when there is no more interest.

Thanks for sharing this with us Sarah, I have printed off the ones of interest to me, so thanks, too, to the folk who kindly sent them.
I found the article on pruning particularly helpful.

I would love a copy of all of these and I am happy to upload them to my webspace from ntl and share the link with everybody here so people can grab them as and when they like.
If the relevant people want to email them to me at
woppa30-@-yahoo.co.uk
Remove the - symbols, this stops automated spiders from getting my email address and then sending me loads of spam :-)
I will upload them asap and post a link to them here.

This is what we are already doing, but I wouldnt advise posting your web address to anyone - I would just keep it as a PM
