Lovely view Richard - not as good as mine but hey, we can't all live here

Your garden looks fabulous too

[Sinmara]

wow, well done!

[Arwel]

Yeah! Great stuff!I've adopted a similar philosophy of recycling but i've been far less ambitious..got a cold frame made out of old panes of glass but it aint up to your standard. Inspiring stuff

[Millymollymandy]

Well done Richard, it's looking good and I love your view!

Very impressive indeed. I have a few tires I use mostly to grow potatoes, but you certainly have a very nice collection and many other recycled goodies. Well done indeed

A good allotmenteer throws very little away.
Well done !

Down south, I used to make free cold frames. I used to drive around the neighbourhood to see if anyone was having double glazing fitted and the house-owner and the contractor were usually happy for me to take the old window frames, often double-glazed themselves, away for nothing. When put in the garden, they could be either hinged together or, even simpler, they could just be stood on their sides, "earthed up" and then have a frame over the top of them. They worked for me.
Up here, there are loads of free pallets available so I have been using them to make windbreak fencing and using 2 slightly substandard fenceposts for each.

That's fantastic and gives me an idea!!! I would never have thought about using tyres like that and one of r friends works for a tyre fitting company so old tyres won't be hard to come by!! Thanks for that. Welldone, u r doing a great job. Xxx

Great work. I like to recycle where i can but you are taking it one step further. Your view looks just like the Tamar valley up the river from us- I had to look twice because it is so similar. Lucky you!

And I've just noticed what looks like a Mk 1 Landy hiding in the corner(I think),if you cant get bits over there give us a shout. OJ

it belongs to my landlord I think he's planning to sell it but I think it would be beyond my financial abilities to get it over to you, sorry

Great, very creative. Lovely view.

I like the idea of your small raised beds, this is something I have been thinking about for my allotment.
