"A Potting Bench is A Must For Any Serious Gardener"

If you are really into gardening you will love owning a potting bench. Potting benches will help you get organized. You can pot your plants without having to bend over, you can have your pots, your plants, the soil and your tools in one place. The storage drawers keep your tools out of the way and out of the weather.

Although now there are many plastic potting benches on the market today, the traditional bench was made of solid wood. Oak and teak are the most popular types of wood for potting benches. They can be used inside or outside. Once you decide which material you want your bench made out of, it is important to choose one that has many drawers and cubby holes to store all of your gardening tools. The second consideration is that the potting bench have plenty of top work area so you have plenty of room to do your potting.

You can purchase potting tables or benches at most home improvement stores or online.  It is possible to find used potting benches that are in good shape on Ebay but be careful.

If you do your potting outside in an uncovered area, be sure to cover the bench with something such as a painter’s plastic drop cloth in inclement weather. Take proper care of your potting bench and you will enjoy it for years and years.
