Build your own Greenhouse out of old windowsKaren Leach, a local Moseleyite has taken the concept ‘on a shoestring budget’ to its fullest extreme with her construction of a greenhouse out of ‘found’ objects. She explains all.

“Maybe it’s a Constant Gardener-esque attempt not to think too much about anything, or maybe it’s middle age – but I’ve been becoming increasingly obsessed with our garden of late, and so found myself hankering after a greenhouse in which to nurture tender seedlings and grow tomatoes out of the blight-carrying wind,” says Karen. “But the idea of buying one of those budget plastic ones that lasts a season was depressing, and so were the prices of proper wooden ones. My tomatoes seemed destined to remain hunched in a coldframe.”

“Inspiration struck when I cycled past a skip full of lovely old wooden windows in Moseley, and we now have a beautiful greenhouse built entirely out of windows that would otherwise have ended-up up the chimney of Tyseley incinerator. It took a few months to collect enough windows (we did ask!), including some with coloured glass and one huge, arched beauty from Chantry Rd which forms the roof.

“There’s a minimal foundation of a layer of bricks (a quarry tiled floor is the next project), and then the windows are attached to each other simply with long screws from one frame into the next – the roof attaches in the same way, strengthened with a broad supporting post.”

Karen stressed that even for a DIY novice like her it was relatively easy. The hardest part was making all the odd sized windows fit into a neat rectangular structure, but she found a puzzle-solving satisfaction about that too. Oh, and there was a certain amount of channel-cutting to ensure that rain can drain off the roof properly – but she advises that if you choose your roof windows more for practicality and less for aesthetics, that might be less of a problem.

Karen made shelving out of discarded pallets and has now had the satisfaction of seeing her first generation of seedlings grow up in the added warmth, as well as an excellent crop of tomato plants.

So if you are hankering after a greenhouse but can’t see when you’ll have the funds to afford it then this is definitely a very rewarding way of getting a beautiful and functional greenhouse almost for free.

Moseley Folk FestivalWhat a fabulous way to end the summer holidays – a festival in our very own private park with a serious line up of live music. So if it’s not there already put this down on your calendar or in your diary for the weekend of 2, 3, 4 September.

This year will be the 6th Moseley Folk Festival in Moseley Park which continues to get better and better. The program includes a healthy mix of traditional, contemporary and downright experimental folk and acoustic music.

Showcasing unsigned acts right next to well established international artists makes for a really exciting bill. This is a very family friendly event with activities for all ages. And the festival is not confined to the leafy boundaries of the park. There will be sessions, dancing and an array of talented musicians in a choice selection of Moseley Village’s finest pubs.Badly Drawn Boy is the headline act on Friday. With a vast back catalogue

to choose from, his set will surely be a memorable start to the festival.

Saturday night headliners are Tinariwen, a group of former Touareg warriors from the southern Sahara. They fought in the early 1990s to win greater freedom for their people and their fight gave birth to a whole new style of desert music. Their roots rock rebellion of the soul is one of the most entrancing sounds to emerge from Africa in years.

Billy Bragg will bring the festival to a lively close on Sunday night. Over the past 30 years he has recorded hit singles, composed Top Ten albums and written political anthems whilst blending elements of folk and punk rock and singing honest songs from the heart.


Doors open at 2pm on Friday and 11am on Saturday and Sunday. Each day finishes at 10.30pm.

Artists are listed on the website www.moseleyfolk.co.uk in reverse order of appearance with headliners first and opening act last.

Full performance times will be on display at the festival information tent and at the bar, they will also be in the festival programme.

The benefits of frequent advertisingThe economic slow-down, large scale redundancies and the knock on effect of belt tight-ening across the board is putting the squeeze on many small – and large – businesses.

And this is why now more than ever businesses need to make sure they are in the best position to survive the storm by keeping and growing their customer base.

And the best way to do this is to keep telling people about yourself. Keep telling them about your services and products. Because when they are ready to spend their money you want to be the first people they think of.

Low cost local advertising is worth its weight in gold. And that is why at Swan Publishing we have frozen our rates for the last two years and introduced the new eighth of a page size to make advertising accessible to everyone.

But just putting an advert in the media is not enough. It needs to be as regular as clockwork to really work for you. And here’s why:

1. Very few people have a need for any specific product or service on any given day. So frequent advertising reaches this ‘thin market’ when they are ready to buy, not just when you are ready to sell.

2. Frequent advertising reaches your customers regardless of reading habits. Frequency builds awareness. Awareness builds familiarity and familiarity builds trust. Just like dieting, advertising gets the best results over time. Each ad builds on prior brand recognition.

3. Frequency offers you the best rates. You can get significant discounts for booking your advertising over a longer period of time.

4. Today’s ad may influence – but tomorrows will close the deal. Like pushing a ball up a hill, it is better to push slowly than to push quickly and run out of energy half way up.

5. Frequent advertising helps you beat your competition. If you are not advertising as much as your competition does, who is more likely to reach the consumer who is ready to spend?

6. Advertising is one of your smallest business expenses. Yet not using it often enough can kill your business. If you give up on an advertising campaign before it has had the chance to work, all that investment is wasted.

7. People forget! What are the statistics about how fast people forget? It used to be that something like 80 percent forgot a message in 24 hours. But, I forget.

If you are interested in how low cost frequent advertising is in this magazine just have a look at our website which shows all advertising rates and discounts. www.swanpublishing.org or call Amy Watson on 0121 689 0432.

Moseley Directory hits the world wide webOwned by Swan Publishing this delightful local community magazine has now found its way onto the internet.

So if you remember an article or advert from a previous issue and can’t lay your hands on it then just go to www.swanpublishing.org where you will find back copies dating back to May 2010 last year.

And if you run a business or work for an organisation that sees Moseley as a target audience then you can find out all you need to know about the incredibly low cost advertising packages available. You can also look at distribution maps which show exactly where the magazine is delivered each month.

Moseley Directory is now taking a new direction with a greater emphasis on community news, so if you belong to an organisation and want to get your voice

heard or have a story you feel would be of interest to the local community then please do get in touch. And if there is anything you would like to see in the magazine that is not already there then please let us know, we are always on the look out for new ways to improve the magazine.

Having run the Moseley Directory since its launch in February 2006 editor Amy Watson, a Moseley local, has since launched My Kings Heath in March 2009 and Edgbaston Directory in February 2010. These two magazines complement the Moseley Directory perfectly and provide a valuable means for businesses to promote themselves to their local area.
