    Trough planter

    I thought this was a bit expensive, and a bit rubbish:





    So I had a bash myself:



    Cost £2.30 for the bolts & washers through the legs. Everything else I had knocking about.

    Well pleased because I'm a lousy carpenter.

          Well done. Looks better and stronger than the shop one

              That looks really good MBE - I think you're misleading us about your carpentry skills.

              Ever thought of making a top bar hive and keeping honey bees? that trough would make a better base than lots of images I've seen.

              Endless wonder.

                      Thanks all. Definitely encouraged by your kind words! If I can do this, anyone can.

                              Sorry for the delay. I've had a decent crop this year.
