Made the mistake of going to a Gardening Chat Room
Comments (12)hi, well i share your passion for growing stuff. Trees are my first love, i grow as many as i can from seed or seedlings and i love trying to plant rare and new varieties. I have run out of space now though .. it’s very rewarding and so i guess i am a garden geek now. There must be loads of people want to but you just need the space. This seems to be a fair forum for us such minded folks ! I too was on AOL way back in the day, it was a shame their chat rooms ended as they were useful and interesting to chat on. I don’t and won’t ever use facebook . I suppose i am now old fashioned but i think facebook is a spying tool that you all should avoid. Just my opinion. :) keep on planting ! ps anybody want some trees ? i have a greenhouse full of baby conifers and many are very rare varieties i can share , i am struggling to find them their spots . Any other tree enthusiasts out there.? Love to chat on trees ...Ivor...See MoreQOTD What other forums on the Garden Web?
Comments (21)I started out on the Florida Gardening Forum, then found this one, and I spend the most time on these two. I have visited others out of curiosity: Pets, Sewing, Natives, Garden Junk, Recipes, Cookware, and some others. I think all of them are of value, but Quilting on the whole has the most supportive people who are willing to welcome newbies and share their knowledge and at the same time are comfortable in asking for advice without feeling intimidated. I posted a question once on one forum about a certain type of conifer that I had just bought and was derided for only buying the common stuff found at the big box stores so I knew right away they weren't very welcoming of non-experts' participation. So it seems that there are some forums that only encourage expert participation which is fine if you're searching for an answer to a question but not too friendly for us unwashed people who don't know everything about everything! I'm with Rosa, life is too short for grumps and trolls....See MoreOther favorite forums here and why?
Comments (7)Pets- I'm a 3rd year vet student and want to help. Plus there are tons of really great people with excellent advice on training and other non-medical issues with pets. It's a great forum for me to both give and receive advice. Animal debates- I think that as a future vet, it is important for me to know where people get their information on certain topics and how they feel about certain things. So although I don't always participate in the debates, I do read them a lot. Home decorating- that's my favorite forum, hands down. Mostly because of the people on the forum, how they can be so helpful and really give you another perspective on your decorating dilemnas. They are also excellent resources for saving money- the more you can do yourself, the more money you save. They also know where to get good stuff cheap. I've totally transformed my plain tract home on a budget with the help of the people on that forum. They are wonderful! Household Finances- I usually glance at that one, but not so much now that Dave is gone. Stupid moderators- he was a HUGE asset to the forum, a wealth of information. Now the forum is not as helpful to me. Not that others don't have good advice too, but he really explained things in terms I understood. Marriage- I used to look at that one a lot, but lately it's been so depressing with all the cheating and major problems. I don't seem to have anything in common with the most recent posters, being in a happy marriage and all....See MoreWhat are some good books or other resources about terrs?
Comments (0)The internet is always a good place to check though I have found some errors in material on some sites. [Moral of the story is try to double check info whenever possible.] There doesn't seem to be much in the way of current literature out there, unfortunately. But some books that have been found by forum members are: "Terrariums & Miniature Gardens"(Sunset-1974) The gardens are mostly bottles. Good description of how to make one. "Fun with Terrarium Gardening" by:Virginie & George A. Elbert (1973) There are some dry terrariums in this book (cacti) And some ideas like a coffee table and a dining room table w/ a terrarium in it. The pictures in this book are nice, some are in color. "The Savage Garden" Considered by many to be the definitive text on growing carnivorous plants. "Tarantulas and Other Arachnids" Samuel D.Marshall ISBN# : 0-7641-1463-8 It has a really good section about building housing for tarantulas, temp., humidity, substrate, with or without plants....See More- 7 years ago
