Need to get some wood sorted to build the 'box' to contain it ( it bows a bit without, but not too much of a problem )

Little bit more work to do on the box but you get the idea
We made it at my parents so didn't have the plastic container with us. It appears that i got my measurements spot on. I still need to tidy up the edges but you get the idea
Total cost so far:-
Container - £16
5 plants, basket, compost and a couple snails - £12.99
Wood - Free

Yeah this works out around 220L. Might get some native fish to put in it ( minnows or the like )
