Trough planter

[mrbadexample]

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.

[Bren In Pots]

That does look good

[veggiechicken]

Nice work - I'll award you the MBE, MBE

[chris]

That looks great!

[RedThorn]

Well done. Looks better and stronger than the shop one

[Guykp57]

Great, going to try one my self.

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.

[veggiechicken]

MBE is a man of many talents. A trough, a Pi.........whatever next

[The Masons]

Looks pretty good, defo better than the shop one. Will have to set hubby a challenge!!

[Feral007]

Does look good! In my next life I want to have carpentry skills.

[mrbadexample]

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

mothhawk, I am tempted by bees but really don't think I've got any more space!

[Stan79]

Looks great! Well done!

[Tripmeup]

Nice job MBE.. very impressive looking..

[RedThorn]

Any pics of it filled?

[mrbadexample]

Two years later...yes!



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