Troughs needing a home
« on: November 03, 2010, 09:06:03 AM »
Troughs. I have various troughs to find homes for, either with the contents or empty. They range from hypertufa home made jobs to the brown farmers sinks plus one light-weight garden centre one.

Only an hour from Dunblane so not a problem.
Anthony I am interested in the brown farmers sinks. Can you tell me how many you have and their sizes and of course their prices. The latter being the most important.
Photos would be helpful if you can.

Attach keels, rudders, masts and sails and add a little person to steer, and send them south. ;D

I'll take some pics. I have two farmers' troughs - one small and one larger. I also have a wood and glass orchid growing cabinet which is free to good home. It has heat and light plus a timer and has sliding glass doors. It's quite large.

If you don't dispose of them all, you could auction or raffle them in aid of the local group.

Anthony,

It is only now seeing you having to find new homes for your troughs that the full extent of your new venture has struck home to me. What a wrench it must be to have to give up all the plants you have nurtured for all these years I am not sure that I could do it.
But then I thought about all the fun and excitment that you are going to have setting up and exploring a new garden in a new home in a new country.
I wish you all the very best of luck and while I look forward to seeing posts from your new home and garden.

We have our residency visas, so just one or two hurdles to jump and the greenhouse, shed and garage to clear.

New Zealand is the intention David (touch wood) - just a few 'is' to dot and 'ts' to cross.
