This is a great little tub for growing veges - has modular support system, big water tank underneath, and wheeled to make it easy to move around. These currently sell at Mitre 10 for $99.

The photos make the supports look wobbly, but that’s only because I didn’t connect them together fully for the photos, in case I couldn’t pull them apart again! I never actually used the supports as my plants never got big enough for that :(

This is In great condition, sadly my deck isn’t suitable for veges as it gets hammered by northerlies so time to give this a new home :)

Price: $30
