    Thanks for your comment. I can see you have a few pots and plenty of room for more. Good luck!

  • I bought standard ready to use decking which is impregnated with preservative.

    There is probably some minor leaching of chemical. I aim for them to last 10 years.

  • how much money have you spent on all that?

  • It is something that I am often asked. The answer is about £3500 over the last 4 years but obviously less each year.

    I reckon that it will take 7 years to have produced enough to break even and there are not many hobbies that do that!

  • With the cages - Do you have them screwed in place and remove when necessary or for harvest or simply have long stakes on the base of each pushing them into the ground etc ?

    thanks.

  • Thanks for showing an interest. The base of the cages is the same timber as the beds and has proved heavy enough to resist the strongest winds. Occasionally they have been shifted a few inches, but not enough to let the birds in.
