Water  butts the big blue plastic barrels about 25 gallon i think you need at least 3 try and find a local source of them somewhere that has liquids deliverd car valeting places or maybe somewhere that hs water treatment units.

Compost bin easy 5 pallets and fasten 'em into the shape of a capital E  makes two bins side by side scrounge round factories and wher people are building for pallets

you`ve already got the most important stuff!
the above two posts just about cover it.
keep topped up with the enthusiasm, its IS the most important bit tho`

Will ask hubby to sort the pallets out, he deals with loads of builders who will be able to pass some on I think.

Got a spade in the garage, got a trowel, might have a rake too.

Better stock up on Radox then

and a nice pen-knife

for a pen knife can i recommend a wilkinson sword budding knife .without a sharp point on the blade comes up loverly with a stone  i have had mine for many years , if its beyond the pennies go for an opinel i think the size is 6 .fantastic knife for all tasks . gutting a rabbit to slicing a tomato
