What a lovely lot you are! I didn't expect to get so much comeback, thought it was something new, guess I will have to get out more.
Anyway I will look into all the leads you have given me, many thanks.

It was even mentioned on Radio Two this week on the Allotment spot of Jeremy Vines prog.. One of my acquaintences uses it on his plot and claims it works really well... never really looked into it myself..

And on Chris Evans' Drive Time.  The gardener was a lovely and interesting man;  loved the fact that time was no hindrance to him! ;D 

It certainly made me think about moon gardening.  I know I've seen a book in Waterstones but will have to do some more research to find the details or find out if there is a definitive guide out there.  If so it's one for the Xmas list.
