My husband, Jack, made a potting bench for me in 2006. When we got rid of the kitchen granite I had a big piece put on top never knowing it would become very hot in the sun. The umbrella in the photo is heavenly. I put the potting mixes in a big barrel, add lots of Perlite, and just fill my pots directly over the barrel, as needed - no mess to clean up when I'm done.

Trays are kept in a plastic basket under the table and I keep bowls in a plastic milk crate. In the photos it looks neat enough underneath the top but seldom stays that way for long!
