Ikea Pottint Table!! Yes really!!
Hi Guys. Just wanted to say, I've found an amazing potting table in Ikea of all places (See picture attached) the GRUNDTAL, Trolley its stainless steel, with a plastic top and caster wheels.

Re: Bay tree outdoors or greenhouse
You don't say where you are Dan, if you put it on your profile it will help you get more specific answers. I'm down in Dorset right near the coast so mine stays out & is fine, but I do move it to the corner beside the house for a bit of protection. ... I forgot that crucial bit of information.....
