As I am getting older and finding it harder to dig I decided I wanted this stand made and then using Bunnings white buckets I made them wicking so no need to water every day.
The stand was basic but then added wheels so movable in my outdoor area then added the top section so I could add screen to roll down in extreme hot weather.
Materials
- Timber
- nails
- screws
- wheels
- buckets
- potting mix
- netting
- rope
- pulleys
- paint.
Hanging rack and hanging baskets.
Tools
- Saw
- drill
- hammer
Steps
Step 1
1.Bought the timber then using a template and with help of handyman Steve cut all the pieces required.
Step 2
2.We then started to put together using the guide I had.
Step 3
3.When completed I decided I wanted more timer to go across the front section so I had somewhere to lean and place things when planting up.
Step 4
4.Then bought all the buckets and tubing for watering and caps to stop mosquitoes breading in the water below.
Step 5
5.I then decided it needed a top section so I could add hanging flowers to bring bees.
Step 6
6.Then netting curtin that I could roll up and down and wheels so I could move around depending on weather.
Step 7
7.Then it was time to add the potting mix the different fertiliser and then the plants.
Now I can walk out cut what's needed for meal and no back breaking work. It's the best and most useful thing I have ever made.
Hi @KTW,
Thank you for sharing your first project with the Workshop community! You have built a great standing garden that many of our members will find inspiring. Your project fits perfectly into the "outdoor" section of Bunnings Australia's Search for the Best Project 2023 and I have entered you in. Many of our wonderful member's projects become Top Ideas like 7 stylish plant stands, you may even find yours in there one day.
I love the paint colour that you chose to paint the timber, are you able to share the name of it?

Hi @KTW I agree with @KatieC this will be inspiring for other members. It's good to see that you built this mobile veggie stand, I like the idea of making it mobile and no bending or kneeling, wishing you a great harvest, now just sit back and wait for the reward.

Good luck with your entry in the DIY July entry.
