Would it be worth having a new forum called something like "Tools, Gadgets and Gizmo's" for members to write about anything they've used, and found useful (or otherwise).
It could be anything from thermometers to polytunnels to trowels to.. well.. I dunno... prefered bug repellents, plant food, self-cleaning plantpots, autograss seeds (with a little dial to select how tall you want your grass to grow)
People could post their respective experiences of any given gadget, with responses.
Over the years, it might become quite a useful technical reference ? (and could incorporate existing threads such as the home-made heating benches etc ? ) A bit like I sort of "WHICH Garden Tools" magazine ?

A sonic mole deterrent bought last Spring, as the little critters were in the old veg patch.
Worked when I charged the batteries and placed it in the corner where I guessed they were arriving......
..... it was working til the batteries powered down, and never worked again, even thought they were supposed to charge by solar.  |

That sounds like a good idea roofgardener, I love gadgets myself , especially in the kitchen from little meat ball scissors , to a recent ginger rubber which is worth it`s weight in gold . As you say it could be a good reference over time . what about putting it up in "tips tricks and garden diy" and see how it goes, I think it would fit in well there .  |

That sounds like an excellent plan, Ladybird.
Umm... who is responsible for the forum structure and admin ? Perhaps I should message him/her ?

Perhaps I should message him/her ? you could start a thread yourself roofgardener and see how it goes. as rosie pointed out, we have to be wary of advertising other companies . perhaps you could send a message to one of the mods asking their advise . so far only three of us have commented on this topic, i wonder if others are interested ? |

I'd be interested in this too but you're right LB about not advertising other companies, I was a mod on a non-gardening forum for a number of years and there were a few problems, but I think in moderation it was ok
