Potato Box (1mx1mx600) $115.70 An easy way to grow potatoes (the same system as growing in tyres). Simply build one layer of the box (the wood interlocks - no nails required), lay newspaper on the ground and cover with a layer of compost, and seaweed or comfrey leaves. Place your seed potatoes on top and cover with any organic matter (hay, straw, sawdust, compost, seaweed ....) up to the level of the first layer. As the halums (green tops) grow, add another lot of sides and keep topping up with organic matter until you reach the top. This makes for the easiest potato harvest ever - simply deconstruct the box and forage inside for your bounty of spuds. Use the compost for other garden beds and stack the potato box away till next time (or use it for making compost or storing organic matter or ....) All pieces are interchangeable with both styles of compost bin.

Open Compost Bin (1mX1mx1m) $195.00. This is the compost bin for the compost turners (its the compost bin that I would use). The open bay makes it super easy to use.

Another no nail, interlocking design that takes 5 minutes to put together. All pieces are interchangeable with the potato box and closed compost bin.
