To get a free copy of the magazine you need to:
Call 0845 357 7002, quoting GYOC4 08*
Offer expires March 31, 2008.
You can just request the free magazine or they will offer you a further three copies for £1 total. You have to set up a direct debit but you can cancel this via e-mail or phone call.
I rang up for a free copy.
Was dissapointed to hear that its a way round to get subscription.
They asked me if I wanted 3 copies for a £1 and I didnt want to subscribe to another magazine. I said I would just look at the free one first. Dont think they like d that, they said goodbye and hung up!!

How rude...No need for rudeness, at all.
You know what? Probably if they HAD sent you a free copy then you might have changed your mind and signed up. But now they won't get your busines and it snowballs from there on, because you tell everyone else, who inturn tell a few more people and so on. Companies are so stupid they lose themself business.
Strange- a lot of us here went for the same offer a few months back and there was no pressure to take out a subscription-just had to cancel the d.d. before the three months.
I had no problems, got the three free copies and then cancelled the direct debit - though I did have to write myself a big note so I didn't forget to cancel in time!
I did it last time, is anyone else doing it again or do you think its a bit cheeky and they mean't say no haha
The trouble is Rosy that the next three issues will only have the same things in that the first three did. I did take a subscription once but cancelled it when they failed to deliver. Then when I bought it from the newsagents found that it just keeps repeating itself every few months. It begs the question when there is so much for us to learn why can't they find something new to print.
And of course there'e nothing in it that you can't find out for free on A4A! :D
as a newbie I love the gardening mags so this deal was excellant for me, 3 mags for £1, I like the saving.
Just phoned now. They didnt try to get me to subscribe. Just told me I'd receive my free copy in 2 to 3 weeks :)
When I called they didden't offer me the subscription, It was only at the end of the conversation that I mentioned it that the gentleman told me about it. Very nice call centre very helpful
Just ordered, also got the 3 for £1. Never bothered with gardening magazines before, just my lottie books, and here of course ;)
I really enjoy grow your own, i'm quite new to it so the advice is brillinat and the articles are excellant
I did it last time too and forgot to cancel it! The offer is either free for 1 issue or £1 for 3 issues. Last time I wrongly thought it was 1 free issue + 3 issues for £1 pound... :(
