Launched...

[matthew2riches]

Well, in my other thread over in the roost, you've probably seen that I've been plotting with someone about designing, constructing and selling chook houses.

We're onto mk4 at the moment. The usability for the chooks AND humans needs to be just right, we don't want to re-launch 2 months down the line with a 'new and improved' model.

In the meantime, we've launched these:

(Smartlock Raised Bed ) RAISED WOODEN BED SMARTLOCK VEGETABLES ALLOTMENT GARDEN on eBay (end time 18-Apr-10 17:32:50 BST)

(My little contribution ) WOODEN GARDEN PLANTER LOG RAISED BED VEGETABLES FLOWERS on eBay (end time 14-Apr-10 20:56:01 BST)

What you reckon? We've sold a few in the paper today and on the local Gumtree site - people seem to like them

Looks good, I'd like to have a view of the log planter from the top too. Any piccies of the chicken houses yet?

They look great. If we were looking for the raised beds, I'd buy the first one.

Just one thing, can you not use capitals in your entire title? I know the idea is to grab people's attention but it's not friendly. Perhaps a picture of raised bed with a natural colour wood?

I like the look of the log planter, my raised bed's are made out of railway sleepers, I put copper tape round it to stop the slugs, thought this might be an idea you could use!!

I did look into the copper but not everyone seems to like it. It's a lot easier and cheaper for the customer to add it afterwards - that way it can be done how they want it.

cool beans, great idea for the raised bed!
