    Marley, can i just put my thoughts here? I don't think that anyone is disagreeing with it for one moment. I think others, just like me, thought ..oh, yeah i'll do that, does it maybe but doesn't come back on here to say so. Then i thought 'do it now' so i did.

    I'm sure many others will do it but not all will acknowledge the fact on this thread. So now everyone knows, tell Marley you did it!!!

    cheers

    :thumb: Thanks everybody. It really is important to support it I think, because so many more people are starting to either just garden or are growing their own fruit & veg. Either in gardens or on allotments.. Why should the government get that extra VAT to squander..?? :mad: Personally I think there should be none on them but there we are ...!

    :( With the cost of living rising... Food coming from increasing distances.. It makes sense to grow add variation to our diets & live & eat healthier. It also makes sense to grow flowers & trees to to help with the climate & planet.. It all helps eventually with reducing our carbon footprint...!!!;):thumb: So sign up now & maybe we will all reap the benefit of lower or no VAT on seeds, plants & Trees...:thumb:

    ;) Well I will get down off me soap box now...!!! Thanks for reading..!:thumb:
