    I turned my old barbecue into a vegtrug great for herbs and saved me loads of money on buying one.

    Old carpeting is great for keeping weeds down in paths or to create new gardens.

    I'm 47 and new to growing anything. I loved this video. I could have watched it for hours. Some fantastic ideas

    I have garlic planted in my kids old turtle sandbox. Also going to plant strawberries in my kiddie pool this year. I grew potatoes last year in the huge colored round totes we used to use for toy boxes.

    My kid’s old plastic pool is now my zucchini garden raised bed.

    I’ve seen city dwellers use kiddie pools on the tops of flat roof buildings for gardens, great idea!

    Very clever ideas! I think the apple storage dresser could also work for potatoes

    I’ve used a curved shower door and a straight shower door to build two cold frames. The curved door is ideal as the allotment is close to the sea and its aerodynamic shape is ideal for deflecting high winds which we get quite frequently (+50 mph)

    Fun video. Far more enjoyable to upcycle and make use of something that would otherwise be landfill, than to buy something. Some great ideas - like the old furniture opened up and used for apple storage.

    I bought 50’ of snow fencing and cut it horizontally in half to have 100’ of short garden fencing. I painted it a lovely color and had an attractive garden area for cheap.

    some cool stuff there, pallet ideas are great esp the planter , im doing a pond on allotment using old recycle bins and using our willow shelter as a cold frame using old bricks and poly cover

    used all the off cuts of breeze blocks, bricks and other materials to build very interesting paths around the beds. Greatly admired by all visitors
