Potting Bench from TwoWests & Elliott

After propagation has been successful, then comes the time consuming job of pricking out followed by regular re-potting. For this purpose we designed a custom-built aluminium Potting Bench.

Top Tray - 2" (5cm) deep, 24" (61cm) wide and 21" (53cm) front to back, with sides sloping up to 11" (28cm).  The front lip prevents compost spilling onto the floor - potting-up can be a very messy job! Spare compost is easily collected through the 4" (10cm) diameter hole at the front of the tray - a cover plate is provided which doubles as a scraper for removing the compost.

Storage Hopper - below the tray a 20" (51cm) high large storage hopper will hold an ample supply of compost and pots close to hand. Access is easy by removing the wooden slats. Please note - it's better to store compost in still in its bag to prevent moisture loss.

36" (92cm) high at the front - a comfortable working height for what can otherwise be a back-breaking job.Makes 'Potting-Up' and 'Pricking-Out' a pleasure - you'll wonder how you ever managed without it! If you don't have room in your greenhouse or potting shed for the bench the Potting Tray can be purchased on its own.
