my shed
had it for years. Its my workshop second home and potting station all in one.
im even thinking about getting electric in there  :lol:   i think it cost me around £300.
also my propagator thing which has a heated tray and then little seeding trays on top of it
i think its called a super 7 propagator £20 and it makes the world of difference in germination
more seeds come up and very fast indeedy

Probably my 30ft polytunnel, bought for £60 4-5 years ago.  It's only 24ft at the moment because of where it is sited, but I've had a couple of really good years out of it.  The poly was already 5 years old then another 4-5 here, grown lots in the first 2-3 years, but only half used last year and not at all at the moment because its full of Brian's machinery as he gave his workshop to the turkeys last year and now has meat chickens in, so my poly is doubling up as his workshop and rotavator/lawnmower shed!

Last year - my shed, bought second hand from an allotment leaver. Hard work moving it from one plot to another panel by panel but worth it.

This year - Fertile fibre peat free sowing compost based on coir with vermiculite. Very expensive but not so when compoared to the results from other composts; even peat based it seems these days.  Lovely fine texture, brilliant for fine seeds and re-wets very well. I use a coarser cheaper peat free compost for larger seeds, but this is brilliant for things like celeriac, carrot, parsely etc.
