PotIt
PotIt is a modular potting station for those who are less mobile and struggle to repot without aid. PotIt is designed to allow those to pot effectively whilst reaping the health benefits of gardening. The user can work at different heights and work surfaces whilst having all tools in the one place.
The PotIt tray is removed from the frame so that the user can pot whilst sitting and work between the two work surfaces.
The PotIt tray can be placed on another work surface such as a garden bench to work on.
The PotIt tray fits in the boot of a car and can be loaded with plants at a trip to a garden centre.
The tray is light enough for a less mobile user to lift.
The top lid of the tray can be placed on the frame to work at a lower height, more suitable for taller pots.
PotIt is made from and exterior plywood finished in a varnish and waterproof garden paint. It can be stored outside and during winter months, it can be covered with an outdoor cover.
Various pot sizes can fit within the tray as well as the tools needed for potting.
