RHS The Garden

★★★★★ This is a really easy to use app full of gardening knowledge. Links well to the RHS website. However, the thumbnail on the magazine articles overlays the words and does not move, making finishing the read a trifle frustrating!

★★★★★ Excellent articles, lots of useful information, tips and advice.

★★★★★ Brilliant, as you get older, the no dig approach is so beneficial for the soil and the person. I'm going to use the no dig approach.

★★★★★ Do I cut off frost damaged leaves and stalks or do these protect the plants?

★★★★★ The article on no dig was really helpful Just preparing a raspberry bed on heavy clay soil. So will do a raised bed with plenty of organic matter as suggested. Plus save my back

★★☆☆☆ Misses every opportunity to use IT. There is no search either within one month's edition or across many. The contents list does not permit jumping straight to an article. There is no way to jump to a specific page number either. When on a page the page number does not show (until you expand the page image). Upon expanding the page so that it is readable, a smaller image of the page appears to assist navigation, but this cannot be moved from its location, so part is permanently obscured!

★★☆☆☆ It's frustrating that they have events on the app, but it includes things in the past, you cannot search by location or date, there are no filters, you cannot use location to find things near you, you cannot have a favorite garden (your nearest, for instance). Reading articles and the handbook seem to work OK, but scroll heavy - you can't search, it's like flicking through a PDF or online magazine so not very user-friendly. Thus, could be so much better and much more accessible.
