Potting Bench – A One-Stop Station for the Gardener’s Needs

Container gardening is increasingly becoming popular nowadays. With limited land area in the city, this gardening style has provided a way for people to grow their favorite flowers, shrubs and herbs in their apartment terraces and decks. In the suburbs, it is an easy way of bringing the plants closer to the home. If you are an enthusiast of nurturing plants in this manner, you will find that having a potting bench at hand can make this activity a lot simpler.
This piece of equipment is designed to help gardeners pursue their hobby with so much ease. Since this furniture piece will have to be stationed outdoors, it needs to be crafted out of a durable and tough material.  Cedar wood is the material of choice for making this equipment. Cedar is a great wood that can withstand the various stresses that Mother Nature brings. It can stand up to multiple cycles of heat and rain outside.
The concept in making the potting bench is very clever. It serves as a one-stop station for all the gardener’s needs. It features a wide working surface that is within the waist level and offers ease of planting that can be done while standing up and being seated in a high chair. Without this, you will surely have to squat or crouch down on the ground to put soil in your pots.
Another thing that is very helpful about it is the presence of a wide variety of storage options. It comes equipped with hooks, side bars, drawers and shelves. All these features can be utilized to make it readily accessible to grab supplies and various tools. You can put trowels, pruning scissors and hand rakes on the drawers and hooks. Fertilizer bags, watering cans and plant containers can be stored in the lower shelves. The side bars can be used for placement of towels or rags. Upper shelves can conveniently be utilized as display cases for already grown blooms and herbs.
