    Very nice scarie.
    I can never get that perfect round shape on shrubs. Do you have to keep them trimmed regulary?

    Excellent...Hulla hoop ay. Fantastic idea.
    I'd love to see your accountants face (and mine next year) when they see a tax invoice for a hulla hoop

    How do you empty it? Does the end come off easily or does the tin need unscrewing?

    You can unscrew one end but we wont be emptying it once its full and trellis put in place we will planting it out, Its being filled with grass clippings. horse poo, mushroom compost and soil.

    Potent brew! I add a hand full of mollasses in a bucket of water and pour over compost from time to time - seems to speed decomposition right up! Some one suggested I add yeast too - but I suspect they meant drink beer whilst gardening, he he

    Thats a great set up.

    The only thing i'd suggest is don't plant any tomato trees when its full, you'd need a ladder to pick the bloody things

    Our vegie patch is built very similar only the iron is roughly in half. ie, about 18 inches high.

    Do you reall need to fill it if you are planting it out? - surely vegies don't need more than six inches?

    If you're buildin a 'monster' one, why not divide in the middle so you can fill one side while the other side is closer to being ready to add to other garden beds?

    Perhaps you have already arranged with customer to help them by supplying grass clippings as you are able?

    We agreed to do this months ago so I have been saving my grass clippings for this reason.

    You right you don't need a veggie patch that high for the health of the veggies, The reason its that high is to save her back there is no bending required when working on the patch its a perfect height.
