Title: Two articles!!!!!!!
Post by: Palustris on September 08, 2008, 01:20:26 PM
Got two articles published in the same Bulletin of the Alpine Garden Society. One on making hyper tufa troughs (which I think I also posted on here) and one on moving a heavy trough.

Nice one Eric.  ;D

I'm not surprised though, as we've seen your expertise in your essays in the Alpine House section of our Forum.

Is there an online link to these bulletins in the Alpine Garden Society so we can read them?

Laurie.

Thats a terrific achievement, Eric - well done.
I agree with Laurie - we've seen many examples of your ability on this forum.
Not many have the foresight to record the step by step process in working through practical projects.
We are honoured to have seen your Hyper Tufa project first! (on the forum)
Congratulations Eric.

Ta.
Not as far as I can see. There is an Alpine Garden Society Website, but the Bulletin is not reproduced there.

Thanks for that Eric.

Okay, how about Plan B.  Are you able to scan the magazine pages and post them here?

Never mind if you can't do that, it was just a last resort.  ;D

Thank you for posting that Eric, brilliant piece of work.

We can all take a leaf out of your book and see how to best present a project.

Easy to follow text with the accompanying photos for each stage, is an excellent tutorial system to adopt.

I think you've earned our gold star award.  (http://www.pixiemouse.com/igforum/star2.jpg)

It comes of being an ex primary teacher. OR, even more so from trying to teach teachers!
