Gardening is a wonderful hobby. You can grow your herbs and instead of buying them in the market, you can simply go out to your backyard and pluck out the basil or rosemary leaves you need for your dish. Besides, nothing could be more rewarding than to see the fruit seeds you have sown and the cuttings you have planted grow and bear fruits and flowers outside your home. The smell of the flowers, the freshness of the air and the burst of color in your yard can make for a comforting and beautiful ambience you can enjoy anytime you want.
Indeed, growing plants can be highly therapeutic. If you are a serious gardener, though, you know that this hobby entails a lot of work. You cannot have a lovely garden if you do not devote a lot of time and effort into nurturing all these plants. You will have to till the soil, pull out the weeds and water the plants every day. You'll also do a lot of replanting, fertilizing and soil mixing. But, if you're smart and serious about your hobby, you don't have to get down on your knees to accomplish all these gardening tasks. With a potting bench on the side, you can carry out some of your gardening work in the most easy and efficient way.
With this piece of equipment, you don't have to squat or be on your knees to transfer little seedlings to your charming pots. The bench has a wide working surface that is built at a standard height so you can work comfortably while standing up or be seated to a higher stool. You can mix soil in here, prune your potted plants and even make your little bonsai creations.
Aside from the working surface, this equipment also has lots of amazing features to make your work light and breezy. It has lots of clever storage compartments which you can use. It has shelves at the bottom perfect for placement of fertilizer bags and clay or tin pots. Shelves on top of the working surface may be used for display of small potted herbs and flowers. They may be equipped with hooks great for hanging trowels, hand rakes, pruning shears, gloves and many other small gardening tools. With this in place you don't have to go back and forth to the shed to get your tools and gears.
Other innovative designs incorporate the presence of holes in the top surface and you can place a trash can on the lower shelf so you can simply sweep the dirt off the table. Otherwise, the hole can conveniently hold a bucket where you can put your soil or fertilizer mix. A wooden bar may be present on the side where you can put your hand towels or rags. Drawers may also be built-in and they can conveniently store seed packets and other small supplies.
What's great about the potting bench is the versatility of its design. If you don't need it for your gardening chores, you can use it as a display cabinet for your grown plants. It can also work as an extra cabinet to hold your outdoor party supplies. Because it is wonderfully-made, it can even be utilized as a buffet table for some of your backyard occasions.
