• 7 x 500L Recycled Plastic Pots (600m H x 1200 diameter)
• 21 x polystyrene boxes
• Geotextile fabric
• 2m³(approx) organic soil and compost blend (two-thirds garden soil, one-third compost or 2m³ potting mix
• Painters tape (optional – for stencilling and painting of pots)
• Prime n Paint Spray paint (optional – for stencilling and painting of pots)

1. 1.Undertake optional stencilling and painting of pots using painters tap and spray paint and allow to dry for at least 4 hours. (Ensure this is a supervised activity in a well-ventilated area and appropriate PPE is worn.)
2. 2.Locate pots in approximate position
3. 3.Use polystyrene boxes to create “false floor” in the base of the pots, up to about 1/3^rd to ½ of the height of the pots. (Polystyrene can be broken to fill gaps if required.)
4. 4.Cover polystyrene “floor” with geotextile fabric to prevent soil loss and allow drainage
5. 5.

• PVC Pipe 150mm x 330mm
• 10mm – 15mm spur-point drill bit
• Drill
• Saucepan lids, tiles or saucers to cover top of worm farm
• Handful of worms, mushroom compost and some vegie scraps

1. 1.Using drill and appropriate bit, drill multiple holes through pipe. (When drilling, be sure to set power drill to lowest setting to avoid melting pipe)
2. 2.In prepared garden bed, install pipe vertically, ensuring top of pipe is level or just above top of bed. (Pipe internals should be relatively free of soil at install.)
3. 3.Backfill soil around pipe, taking care to keep pipe upright and free of soil
4. 4.Install mushroom compost, worms and apply vegie scraps
5. 5.Install cover, and remember to feed and water regularly

• 90mm x 1.5m PVC Pipe
• 2 x 90mm PVC Pipe Caps
• 3 x 90mm pipe brackets
• Jigsaw, drill and hand plane/sandpaper
• Potting mix and seedlings

1. 1. Mark out and cut three 20cm x 8cm “planting spaces” into the top of the pipe using the jigsaw
2. 2. Hand plane or sandpaper off any rough edges of the planting spaces
3. 3. Place pipe against wall and markout drill guides for attachment of c-brackets
4. 4. Ensure one end is slightly longer than the other to ensure drainage
5. 5. Using appropriate drill bit and screws, attach pipe to wall using c-brackets, secured top and bottom
6. 6. Drill a couple of small holes into one of the PVC pipe caps
7. 7. Attach pipe caps, ensuring cap with holes is at the “low” end of the pipe
8. 8. Fill pipes with potting mix and plant
9. 9. Team used Strawberry varieties and Alyssum
