Welcome to Gardeners Tips Blog
The original post on 5th April 2008′ was entitled welcome to the Compost Heap.’
It started off ‘Welcome to our blog of gardening tips and advice.
Articles will vary from simple tip pages to more complex advice about different species or aspects of gardening.’
Update 31 July 2016 from Hortoris
- In over 8 years we have ‘posted’ over 1600 pages and even more photographs, onto our hobby website.
- At the peak we were getting over 2000 visitors a day. Until recently that is when Google changed the way we were ranking on some key pages.
- It is an important motivator to know that our words are being read and our pictures viewed.
- To win back some of our old viewers we will be upgrading many of the articles and top tips over the next few weeks.
- We can’t be sure to get it right so if you have any views or contribution to make please let us know on comments below or via twitter. (I am a twitter novice so do not expect miracles just yet)
- If you think the site is a pile of dung fit only for the compost heap then tell us that as well.
The photographs are pictures of parts of the garden from our upstairs windows.
