Potting Areas
Setting up a potting area that works: bench height, storage, water access and layout.
A potting area is a dedicated workspace for the messy, hands-on tasks of gardening, such as transplanting seedlings, repotting containers, mixing soil blends, and cleaning tools. This category covers how to set one up so it works in practice, from bench height and layout to storage, water access and drainage.
Topics include matching bench height to the person working at it, keeping supplies organized and within reach, managing the mess that soil and water create, and building drainage and waterproofing in from the start. Other articles look at building a station yourself, indoor versus outdoor setups, small spaces, lighting for both the worker and the plants, and seed starting stations.
