Advantages: Plenty of information, free seeds Disadvantages: A few adverts but not many
I am a regular reader of Amateur Gardening, in fact I hardly ever miss an issue. It is published every tuesday and costs £1.10 and more often than not comes with one or two FREE packet of seeds which always cost more than the magazine itself.
It is packed full of useful hints and tips, full length articles by famous gardeners such as Charlie Dimmock, Bob Flowerdew and Peter Seabrook and many others.
There is a postbag where you can send in letters and a helpline that you can email, write, phone or fax to get answers to various problems.
Regular articles include Whats new, Pestwatch, This week in your garden, Readers garden and Anne Swithinbank's garden diary. It is full of information pertaining to anything you can grow from flowers, vegetables, fruits, unusual plants and interesting new varieties.
The picture content is very ...
Advantages: Wide range of articles, great photos, lots of offers Disadvantages: Lots of adverts, quality photos make your garden look dull

Each month the articles are relevant to the gardening year, so in winter they will not be talking about mowing the lawn or growing strawberries and in summer they will not be talking about frost cover ...
Advantages: Not expensive, great hints and ideas Disadvantages: to each his own!
).
There are various sections, like Tricks of the Trade, Bargain Buys, Decorating MadeEasy (this issue it?s bedrooms), also how to mix old and new furniture across the whole house!
Linda Baker has a section in the magazine and she writes on ?how to? do things around your home. This is usually a main decorating feature; this time it?s how to make room feel light and bright, plus a few tips on flooring and using patterns on walls and fabrics.
Major competition - £20,000 (top prize) spending spree at Debenhams, plus various other monetary rewards. Downside ? it costs 75p a minute to find out if the number on the front cover has won anything!
Back to the magazine ? quite good tips on how to brighten up a small, dull kitchen without spending a fortune (going to use some of these tips!). Then there is an 8 page pull out on DIY ? some ...
