OH GOOD, A bad mistake by some people who dont, realise the damp travels up into the wood and rots it.
Job well done.

Looks so modern, I'd be tempted to move a bed  in there and tell the aubergines to find their own house!

Yes, Grotbag, your creation really deserves a proper name over the door.

brilliant - if you are going to paint the rest of it white then I'd name it The White House instead of a greenhouse  ;D

Excellant example of recycling, well done you. Just one question, how have you done the roof, I guess it is not flat and you will collect water from it? I think the roof may be difficult to clean????
Anyway I think Wisly should take note and have one of there  plots set aside for examples like this to encourage recycling. Please note Wisley....
