Seed Bench

Another quick and dirty project...and still distracted by the gardening bug.

We needed a small bench on which to germinate our seeds indoors and then later put outdoors as the weather warms up. I certainly wasnt going to pay the ridiculous garden center prices, especially on something that might exposed to the weather! 

So ...

An afternoons work, a handful of basic tools, an old broken pallet and some pieces of recycled wood from the dump for the legs and a £1.35 bag of screws later...

Our new seed propagation bench was born.

These are the tools used, a square, pencil, gimlet (i love gimlets), screwdriver, chisels and a small saw.

Its not built to last a lifetime and its not pretty ... but, Its functional, almost free and it was a great choice to spend an afternoon!

Broken and discarded pallets can be a readily available and free useful source of wood, so keep your eye out for them!
