How can you put rubbish or food waste into it??? So lovely.

Thanks @alp...the Good old Fashioned way.."Lift the lid off" Old Skool methods are still the best.
Hey @Logan do you have a little Die Cutting machine or plotter???

That looks great, your such a genius.

Thanks @Logan and no I'm not a genius..I'm just an ordinary Joe with a few tools. and in anycase if I'd been a genius I wouldn't have forgotten to put the ventilation holes in hahahaha...They are in now though
I spent all in all on this project circa £15 because of all the scrap timber and things lying around the garage..Took me about a good 8hrs start to finish..This could have been cut down drastically if I'd bothered to get my table saw out, I couldnt be bothered as I dont have a vac rigged to it yet so the wood dust would have went all over the place..I cut everything by Hand-Saw.

I used Keith's little die cutting machine.

Come on, BigC, treat yourself to a precision tool. Or your mind will be shaking with your hand even whilst you're in bed. I used a chain saw and after using it for 10 minutes, my hands were still shaking! LOL! The sensation just lingers on. It looks so chic .. Much better looking than the plastic ones. See £15, rather than £39 for a round piece of plastic. Your other half must be very proud of you.

Like this £500 scroll saw ..Yes I made the stand myself

Your other half must be very proud of you.

Nice sunny day again today, supposed to cool down again tomorrow and onwards so at least summer over and done with this year .

I went to Harrogate spring flower show last year @Zenj nice day out, might go again next week if the weather good and if I've got nothing better to do, I will be going to the autumn show later in the year.

Still struggling a bit here for colour but got some daffodil out and some tulips opened today, still waiting for the large daffs and tulips in barrels and large pots. The lawn come along the past week after a feed and other work done, still a bit patchy in places but will fill in soon. Give the lawn its first trim this evening with the cylinder mower.

Garden looking quite bare with focus on mainly herbaceous perennials, it will hopefully bursting with plants in the next few weeks.

Harrogate to me conjures up images of
Harlow Carr and Betty's extortionate tea hahahaha..you'll find me there most years being married to a Yorkshire Lass.
Liking your garden formation @Perki any notion of adding some water features at some stage?
Thats a garden..One would enjoy a good pint in lol

Me being a novice Chilli-Head I have decided maybe i should not bother with seeds at all..I can get most of the Chilli Plants I need year on year from the GC around this season...Although I still have a lot of seeds awaiting propagation and germination, I have also bought a lot of plants...So in reality the only plant illusive to me would be a Carolina Reaper (by today's thought) I would like to try the WRC for taste and sauce.
I now have plants in my possession of the following:-

• Bhut jolokia
• Trinadad Scorpion Moruga
• Red Naga
• Habenero chocolate
• Red Jalapeno
• Scotch Bonnet
• Apache f1

This being more than enough...beside its way too HOT even for Chilli's today

Hot or What!
