Don't suppose anybody here would know how I could get hold of a copy of an
article in Everyday & Practical Electronics, July 1998. The Greenhouse
computer.
I'm guessing this is a lost cause as I'd need the code for the PIC as well.
Regards

Have you tried asking them?

Hi, Alan Winstanley from EPEmag here, good to be on Usenet again. :-)
We still publish all our legacy PIC project codes on our old FTP site, it
goes
back to the mid 1990's. It was thanks to Usenet feedback that we
decided to
publish them for free at the time.
ftp://ftp.epemag.wimborne.co.uk/pub/PICS/
Unsure which one you want, maybe PIC Watering Timer.
As regards very old project articles, we don't mind if copies of old
articles
are swapped around amongst hobbyists for a specific project. It's
nice when
we're asked, but it's OK to ask in our EPE Chat Zone forum at
www.chatzones.co.uk and permission will never be unreasonably refused.
We didn't do PCB artwork PDFs that far back though.
Hope that helps

Spot on. Decided to go 'healthy' and start growing herbs (of the legal
variety)
and I know I'll kill them through lack of watering.

I obviously haven't dug deep enough.

I can probably get around that.

Thanks very much for you help and apologies for not finding your post
earlier.

These are useful, cheap, and available off the shelf:
