What do people use when they are repotting plants? At the moment I am using some wood over the arms of 2 garden chairs. Are there such things as potting tables? I need something small and weatherproof and a reasonable height.

    I picked up a pine computer desk at a boot fair a year or two ago. The pullout tray for the keyboard is great for extra space!

    I'd keep you eye open for one of those specially designed green plastic potting trays. I think they only cost a pound or so. They have a raised side to prevent spillage, can rest on anything, and double up as a watering tray.

    Weve got an old metal camping table were using at the mo- its good you can move it about to where the sun is, I have all my pots on it at the mo

    pickd up at a bootfair but well too heavy for actually taking camping.
    :beer: Well aint funny how its the little things in life that mean the most? Not where you live, the car you drive or the price tag on your clothes.
    Theres no dollar sign on piece of mind
    This Ive come to know...
    So if you agree have a drink with me, raise your glasses for a toast :beer:

    You overly houseproud wimps! I use my dining table and if there's any compost left on it - it just adds extra flavour!

    I used an old greenhouse bench, handy for storage underneath too.

    Thanks for all the replies - from which I gather there is no such thing as a proper potting table. I will look out for something rustproof in metal as I want to leave it out all year.
