Consumer Report: Web Gardening
by CBS3's Jim Donovan for KYW Newsradio 1060
It's a web site called yourgardenshow.com where hundreds of green thumbs are using social networking to "grow" ideas.
Tom Finerty is one of the creators:
"What we have done is made the garden gate virtual -- it's a way to connect with gardeners who have done what you want to do already and learn from their mistakes."
Yourgardenshow.com allows you to peek into other gardens, make comments or seek advice.
Users can click through thousands of varieties of plants, veggies, fruits and learn where to grow, how to water, and what methods are best for the environment.
Yourgardenshow.com is a free site. It makes money by selling ads for gardening tools and equipment.
