Well, we got there before 11am, lots of people there, one medium sized hall with stalls quite crammed in, plus a few farm animals in a side hall (Bob Flowerdew and Anne Swithinbank were hobnobbing in there!)....and we were out by 1pm! Sorry we couldn't stay to meet up, but we had 'done' all the stalls, had a coffee, and Saddad had a long drive to do asap, so we called it a day earlier than planned. Back home by 2pm! I don't think I would go again, not very good value for £13 per adult, a lot more to see and do at GWL for example.

Main purchase for me was some Rock Dust, I decided to give it a trial on half of my plot on the raised beds side this year to see if it makes any difference.....the bloke carried it to my car as well, so can't complain! I am proud to say I resisted the' heritage tomatoes' stall...£3 a packet put me off!

Well..We did it too..and didn't manage to do all..too much to see and being honest..I met looovely Grannyjanet and it all turned to girly talk, and some shopping of course::) ;D
Rockdust!!...one of the main things I went there for ::)..forgot all about it ::)
Heritage Tomato stall got some change out of me.. :-X..yes, yet more tomatoes..but those are for 2012 list ;D
Saw Pippa Greenwood and James Wong.
Had yummy rare breed sausage cob and lovely cool, thirst quenching cider :P
I did enjoy the day and will go again.
Deb..how much did they charge for the rockdust?..I think I paid some years ago around £25 for big sack with delivery..

goodlife · « **Reply #32 on:** March 18, 2011, 19:09:22 »

Oh..must not forget to mention lovely Grannyjanet's OH.. ;).. :-* ;) ;D

grannyjanny · « **Reply #33 on:** March 18, 2011, 19:28:50 »

I had a lovely time too. It was so nice to meet one of my cyber friends & her OH. Chatted to James Wong which was rather exciting, says she blushing again :-[. Bought seeds & swapped 'things' out of car boots with Goodlife. I would like to go again but we had a long time in the car, about 41/2 hours in total, then again it is Friday.

saddad · « **Reply #34 on:** March 18, 2011, 20:23:54 »

The rock dust was 2x 20kg bags for £16... (instead of £10 each)... and no carriage..

£16 for two bags, each bag 20kg I think covering 40sqm at the 'minimum' application rate. I'm going to do an experiment by only doing some beds of the same crops and see if I notice any difference.... ;D

Ahhhhh, he beat me to it, got back from York OK then?!

goodlife · « **Reply #36 on:** March 18, 2011, 20:29:09 »

OH NOOO...and I missed that ::)..that is good price..I suppose that product is slowly being available bit more widely...when it first came about I had to buy it from Scotland :-X
Hmm..I wonder if I could talk OH for another trip to coventry ;D

saddad · « **Reply #37 on:** March 18, 2011, 20:30:54 »

Yep, back by 7:45 pm... :)

bazzysbarn · « **Reply #38 on:** March 18, 2011, 23:22:28 »

We got there by 10.30, saw the celebs wandering around. Had a natter with the couple on Jimmys Farm but didnt think much to it really. Wanted to see the topic on pig rearing in the morning but they changed the time >:( so we missed that!
Though it was a bit dear for what was there, bring back the Royal Show :)
