Penine Kitchen Garden

stompy · « **on:** May 10, 2007, 23:01 »

I don't know if this is in the right place,

Has anyone seen the advert for, A Penine Kitchen Garden DVD or Video, i saw it advertised in grow your own magazine and kitchen gardener :?:

I'm thinking of getting them, but at £120 for the 12 issues, i don't want to get them if they are no good. :?

So, has anyone got any, and are they any good. :?:

Personally I think it's far too dear. Get a book out of the library.

It is exspensive but i don't mind paying, once i'v got them, i'v got them for good.

Each one is three hours long, but if they are poor quality or poor content then it would be a waste of money. :cry:

Just wondering if anyone had any info. :?:

Have you tried the forums at http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/ ? there are loads of people on there who might have got a copy or seen it or again the RHS forums ?

Saw the February episode, can't recommend it. It looks very amateurish - long pauses with nothing going on, mumbling, strange camera angles etc. Waffling on about how much of a supermarket soup is made from real mushrooms wasn't very entertaining or informative and their gardening expertise was fairly basic. Later in the film the guy really lost the plot & started yammering on about politics, streuth................. It will however make a good birdscarer on the allotment

Is that free with the magazine...so you would get the magazine too?

I used to subscribe to the mag for a year it was ok but i found after a year it started to repeat itself.

Yes it was free with a magazine called "Let's Grow Veg" aimed at beginners I would say. The DVD came with a load of free seeds, a fairly cheesy wall chart & some nice pink plant labels, the mag was £9 mind you, just hope the seeds are ok

£9 for a mag.....wow, that's dear.

I know they are giving away 10 packs of T&M seeds but you can get the same seeds free from The Sun every year if you keep your eyes peeled.....well if you send P&P, i usually get flip flops, book, sunglasses and seeds OH sends for them every year and they are always the same seeds.

I would go for Gardens News....a newspaper type of mag but with good solid advice or Gardens Answers....
check this site out.

....and get this DVD instead...much better value.

The Allotment.

Thanks for the info guys,

I don't think i'l bother with the penine kitchen dvd's now, and i already own The Allotment dvd, It is very good.

Thanks again, £120 is a lot of money

Yes I agree, seeds OKish, magazine basic and DVD a bit naff but at least I've saved you a few quid
