CHARTER OF UK.REC.GARDENING
================================================== ===================

Charter of uk.rec.gardening

(Not Moderated)

To discuss gardening issues relevant to the UK. These will include flowers,
shrubs, trees, fruit & vegetables, lawns, houseplants, beneficial insects &
animals, soils, composting, design, location, situation, seasons/times,
hard structures (paths, greenhouses, cloches, rockeries), ponds, tools &
materials, weeds and pests & diseases. This is not meant to be an
exhaustive list.

In the absence of more appropriate, geographically specific newsgroups,
discussion of gardening in Eire, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man
will also be welcome. Because there are climatic, legal, cultural and other
differences, discussion of gardening in other parts of the world is OFF
TOPIC (there are other regional gardening newsgroups, and the global
rec.gardens, one of which may be more appropriate). Please note that this
exclusion not only relates to subject matter, but to people too. Posters
from around the globe are NOT welcome to participate in or initiate
discussion of UK-relevant topics.

Specifically, please remember that there is no direct correlation between
US climate zones and the climate of the UK.

Binaries

All posts should be in plain ASCII text or HTML. The posting of small
binaries 500k (for example, pictures of plants) is welcome and should
begin with "PICTURE" or "PHOTO" in the subject line.

Advertising

Advertising is more than welcome.

Suppliers of UK-relevant gardening equipment, services or plant material
may post a pointer to their website or invitation to request a catalogue.
This may not exceed twenty-four lines. This may be posted no more often
than once every week. The subject line should begin "AD" or "ADVERT" or
"FOR SALE".

Participants in discussions may also include references to their
garden-related business in their .sig (max. EIGHTEEN lines).
