We got a really good deal on an olive tree at Morrisons. The average price for a ‘cheap’ online planter that’s around 50x50x50cm in size is £50 and they are made from thin, flimsy wood, and we needed two. We did the maths and good quality, treated wood for two 60x60x60cm box planters was going to cost us around £40, a saving of £60.
I am going to preempt this post by saying that we have never built anything from scratch, so when the air source heat pump was installed, it was an outlandish…
We have a garden store in our back garden that measures approximately 1.5 x 4 metres, which is a great space. When we moved into the property it was completely under-utilised and only had one shelf. This was a quick and easy DIY project that we undertook, and put in a lot of shelving to store our tools and gardening equipment making it a highly useful room.
