I’ve finally discovered how to embed the Amazon Feedback page into the site so in a spirit of modest pride I thought I’d share it with you here. We take our customers needs seriously and if there’s a problem we’re pretty quick to sort it out as some of the kind comments show. We’ve always found that you can have all the marketing you like but if you don’t look after the customers pretty soon you won’t have a business. [...]

Update on the Fletching Glasshouses rainwater harvesting project [...] In order to help you keep up to date with what’s available we’re going to offer you a newsletter. It will come out every month and will have a section on News, a section on topical tips and a section on special offers. We’ve also given you the opportunity to tell us what specific areas you’re interested in so that occasionally we may send out a specific, topic related email. [...] For most products we have decided to hold prices at the current levels during January to allow customers to buy their gardening equipment at the start of the year. This means that there will be no change in the price of wolf tools and most of the soil testing equipment. [...] I know this is only of general interest for those of you gardening at home, but it’s fascinating to me how quickly the mainstream world is moving in the direction of environmental awareness and behaviour. As I may have mentioned before, I spent most of the last winter interviewing professional growers about their workforce practices. You can find out the details of that here if it interests you. One of the companies I interviewed was Lowaters. One of their directors, Charles Carr was also carrying out a project – this one on water recycling. You see the water industry has [...] What this brilliant little tool does is take a list of people that are being followed on twitter and turns whatever links they tweet into a daily newspaper. Since I’ve spent a bit of time following Organic and Permaculture organisations, the usual suspects from Gardener’s World plus the NFU and Horticultural Week there should be a good and interesting mix of stuff to read. [...] The other main outings we’ve made are to the new weekly farmer’s market in Lewes. This has been organised by the local Transition Town group and has become really well supported. As well as the usual artisan bread, organic cheese and meat and home cooking there are no less than 3 vegetable stalls. The one we’re involved in is a collaboration between ourselves and two other local organic growers, Ashurst Organics who run a Box Scheme of their own that we supply with produce and Noannah who’s also – like Ashurst – based in Plumpton. We work with Noannah at the Hassocks market also which is the 4th Saturday of the Month. [...] And we have a new range of products in the Amazon Shop. While our main focus is on organic gardening in the earth (they Mycorrhiza products are finally up) we’ve been becoming increasingly aware of the need for urban gardeners who may have only patios and balconies to work with to have fresh produce too. So we’ve added a nifty little home hydroponics kit for growing herbs and salads (which can also double as a propagator) called the aerogarden and a big self-watering planter – the Food Garden which can be left for a couple of weeks and which will give you 100 x 42 cm of growing area – which if you manage it right will produce quite a lot of fresh salad. [...] Announcement of the launch of the Intelligent Garden Amazon Store [...] We want this site to help you understand how plants grow so that you can garden with nature rather than against her. We have both the practical experience and the scientific background to answer your questions in a way that you can put them to work in your own garden. We’re currently writing up the materials we believe will be helpful to you and choosing the products that will help you establish where you are now and determine what you need to do to create a healthy garden full of vibrant plants. We expect to have the site operational around [...] |
