    I really like this idea and I'm going to see if I can do something similar in my greenhouse.

    Well done! I have a sink like that lying around in my shed for a few years now waiting to be coverted into the same thing... Just one of those projects! Just one tip: put an old newspaper or something over that compost, it will dry out very quickly if left open like that.

    ♻️ I do love a good pallet build. That’s a cracking job there. I used to be scared of getting pallets because I couldn’t easily dispose of them. But then I saw Lovely Greens make a pallet planter out of one, and I was off. I now have four pallet planters in the garden, and two whole pallets in the garage awaiting dismantling. I’ve got quite handy at breaking them over time, but have settled on a big boy pallet breaker, reciprocating saw, chisel wedge and a mallet. Bosh!!! I find that it’s fun when I know what I’m doing👷‍♂️

    Brilliant space-saving idea. I can even see that used for a semi-outdoor (roofed porch) summer kitchen with a bucket to catch the grey water. I also have an old sink I can use. One of my problems solved. Thanks for sharing. As a bonus a great way dismantling a pallet.

    I have two potting tables now I build one out of pallets when I first got my allotment 3 year ago then I seen Tony’s wash station at his house on one of his you tube (bought one ) so I wanted one and all I had was a washing up bowl and lots of pallet wood - wish I had a kitchen sink all mine is outside !! Fantastic idea !

Before I added the soil I placed down cardboard and then a layer of pea shoots I had grown as a cover crop. I then put in my soil, and then dug the potatoes in. Now I’m reading decomposing green matter near potatoes is dangerous? One site even said they absorb toxins from the green matter and it can harm you. Any ideas?
