    I was asked by an elderly neighbour to dispose of some bits from her garage.
    Her husband is now too infirm to garden and she is clearing out.
    Her request was to take the bits to the dump - but I'm a Yorkshireman!

    Having fitted it all together, its the perfect size for my greenhouse.

    Have discovered it's an irrigation system for Tomatoes etc., it's going to be well used this year. Look out for more Toms.

      I've now tested overnight and the containers sit with 1" water in the bottom.
      Looks like a goer to me.
      I'm off for some Plum Tomatoes this week - Grandson eats 'em like grapes, so the more the merrier.
