For the balcony and other small areas or just to have herbs handy outside the back door. The Balcony is 60 cm x 40 cm. It comes with wood chip, pervious mat, inspection/fill pipe and overflow tap. All that is required is 40 litres of quality soil/potting mix rich in organic matter/compost. The tap ensures no water is spilt so this Watersaver Garden can go anywhere. Only available in black at the moment. http://watersavergardens.com.au/collections/standard-height-garden-beds/products/balcony

At only 15% more to buy than the Extra Large they are good value at only $380. Please respond to the blog or send me...
