gardening magazines

[stella]

How long do you keep your gardening magazines for. I have a pile that I was going to sort out and throw away, but having another look through them there are so many ideas in them the throw away pile has nothing in it yet. What to do, where to put them?????

[snuffer]

I keep the magazines for one year after the year in which they were printed. ie. 2008 magazines will be kept until the end of 2009. After that I give them to the schools gardening club.

I have a selection of favourite books that I return to for advice with regard to planting times and techniques.

If you are going to get rid of any magazines try and think of some person or group that can benefit from them.

You can cut out the articles that interest you and scrapbook them. Another good way is to pass them on to other keen gardeners and they can do the same. I usually keep mine for a about 6 months and then pass them on.
( the ones i haven't cut up that is )

I am intending to keep my Grow Your Own for ever.
I don't get other gardening mags, but other types of magazines get trashed within a month of purchase. I just cut out the bits I want to keep, like recipes, or tips on clothes, etc.
The Grow Your Own I think, will be used over and over again. In fact, (((don't tell the magazine producers))), but I will probably stop getting it at some point, as I imagine it will be the same things over again before too long.

My introduction to GYO was via a Freecycler who was offering a couple of years worth of issues. Still very relevant but there are more and more pests and diseases to deal with as the years go by, and new varieties to give gardeners a fighting chance against them.

I plan to keep mine forever. GYO is the only one I subscribe to but I occasionally get another to read while I am travelling.
I have now developped a shelf dedicated to gardening magazines

[Hans Mum]

I keep all mine i know i'll have to get rid of some soon as OH keeps threatening to burn them

[Glutton4...]

Himself gives his Landy mags to his mates. My gardening mags are like my books - sacred!

I'll throw them out when I've memorised everything ....
