Greenhouses and Raised Beds

A greenhouse allows you to start your planting earlier in the year and also prolongs the growing season after the first frosts have finished off most outdoor vegetables and plants. If you’re in the market for a greenhouse, make sure you check out these online suppliers:

B&Q - The huge superstore offers a good range of greenhouses with the all important home delivery. For the best prices, buy during the winter.

Two Wests & Elliot - A real enthusiasts Web site that features everything you need to grow from scratch. The Two West’s greenhouse range features something for all budgets.

If you don’t fancy preparing that weedy, stony patch ready for your veg, a wooden raised bed might be just what you need. Simply slot the sections together, fill with soil and compost and you’ll be eating fresh veg in no time (that’s the idea anyway!)

The leading supplier of FSC certified timber raised beds in the UK is The Recycle Works. Their great looking Web site offers a huge choice of garden growing and recycling products, many manufactured in-house.
