    Like the potting bench. Have a question about Mums! how do I take care of them during the winter. Some of mine are starting to die! they are planted in beds but they look bad. They get alot of sun . I put down home made mulch then weed barrier with holes to plant them. Small white rocks and medium regular rocks . looked great till they started to die. Thanks for your help !!!

      Angel,

      Sounds to me like they dried out.

    Might try it, but that looks like UN-treated plywood.

    It looks very good & a very ‘workable’ potting bench.

    Thanks, PHIL

    Would love to see how you attach the wheels and the hitch to the legless potting bench. 🙂
    What sort of wheels would you use to support that sort weight when it has soil on it?
    Thanks!

    This potting bench looks great and seems to be fairly simple to make. I don’t recall if you used pressure treated plywood? The only problem with this for a woman or older person would be the weight. It would be too heavy for me to move from place to place. It would need legs or some kind of support system on wheels.

      I put mine on cement foundation blocks, 3 high is perfect for my height!
