Post: # 187288Post homegrown »

Well I have been a busy boy preparing for the upcomming market, these have been some of my latest projects. I have also started making raised garden beds and compost bins for sale as well, all made from recycled cable drums and freight pallets.

They're lovely. you and squirrel46 should get together, you could corner the market. OK, so distance might be a bit of an issue :lol:

Well the market went quite well, didn't sell any planters on site but got some orders and few xtra leads, we sold heaps of chutneys and pickles, completely selling out in the pear and green tomato and selling virtually all of the beetroot pickle and lemon curd. I'll post some photos of our stall in the next day or so.


cheers homegrown
