Episode Details

🛠️🌱 It’s time for a hands-on weekend at the allotment — and today we’re building a brand-new potting bench! In this episode, I take you through the full workshop-style process: planning, materials, assembly, and the little tweaks that make a potting bench truly useful. We’ll chat about choosing the right height, adding shelves for seed trays, creating storage for compost, using reclaimed wood, and positioning the bench for the best light when sowing. A good potting bench makes early-season sowing easier, tidier, and more enjoyable — and building your own is surprisingly simple. If you love practical allotment projects, DIY builds, and making your plot more organised for the year ahead, you’ll enjoy this weekend workshop episode from start to finish. Have YOU ever built your own potting bench?
