Story Title: Potted Vegetables
Potted herbs are always a fantastic way to spice up your life. Especially when it has become so easy to have a planter box right in your kitchen. It brings an aromatic burst of smells to your home and is also an attractive feature on the kitchen bench or windowsill. The Garden Gurus take you through the easy-peasy steps of creating one yourself.
Featured Product- Tuscan Edge Trough
These pots have been designed with the twenty-first century homeowner very much in mind. The fashionable colours and styling of these pots make them perfect for show ing off flowering plants, herbs and balcony vegetables.  And, while the 'edge' in the name describes the contrasting colour band that decorates the top of each pot, it could just as easily refer to their 'edgy' design.
Features

• Sleek, uncluttered square lines that add to, rather than compete with, the beauty of the plants they contain.
• Self-watering feature means no messy saucers to collect grubby water and breed unwanted pests.
• Easily-accessed watering entry hole is covered with a discreet closure that clicks back into place once watering's finished.
• The reserve of moisture at the base of each Tuscan Edge pot helps prevent plants from drying out, substantially lengthening the period of time between waterings.
• Made from UV-stabilised plastic - which means they stand up well to the hot Aussie sun.
• Designed and manufactured in Australia for Australian conditions.
• Available in two fashion colours with contrasting trims - terracotta/charcoal-grey or olive/china.
