the secret is to look at what bikes your mates are riding. Whoever rides the fastest, buy the same bike as them...

And here's the 6 x 6 greenhouse on the extended concrete base

great win for the super blues last night and as others have posted a great performance. How the hell Werner's goal was adjudged offside is ridiculous.
Anyways, apparently the home team are being renamed LLLLLiverpool

Looks like this plastic compost bin has been doing more growing rather than composting this winter.
Looks like its probably bluebells -
yeah of course. All the shuttering was spare wood lying around my shed or garden and so were the bricks and paving slabs so no cost there. I also have a plasterers float and various tools etc already.
The size of the extension is circa 2' 6" wide by 6' long by 6" deep (sorry it's not in metric) and took 4 bags of cement (£20) plus 16 bags of ballast (£36) to fill.
The greenhouse was free too so total cost was nominal. Don't think I'm missing anything.
You might need to hire a mixer cos this makes it ten times easier but if you can beg, steal or borrow one that is the ideal result.

Once the step was filled in I layed the 3 large (2' x 2') slabs across the top and then started filling over them.
Got my plasterers float, my bubble and a bit of board to tamp it down and Bob's yer mother's brother.

final updates on the extended concrete base for my larger greenhouse.
My mate has a mixer and fortunately only lives three roads away so I headed around there this morning and pushed the mixer back home. Quite easy as it has pneumatic wheels.
Went to the suppliers and bought plenty of ballast and cement and with a 4 to 1 mix and just the right amount of water the first batch of was ready
if the cap fits
