Actually, in all the time I spend in the garden, and on a farm, I have never grown anything using this. It has an automatic spray system built into the roof section that works on a timer and is attached to two water butt at the back of the house. He has grown his own produce in there before. And there are still potatoes and tomatoes, and Dill, but have not gone all the way down.

There is also a "pond" so I don't have to build my own which has a thick membrane in it but needs to be cleaned to see the bottom and refilled to check for leaks my fish are already around 14 to 20 inches long and the shop by me wanted to give me a credit note for them where I have seen simial smaller fish sell for £150 each. It's about 16 to 20 inches deep and will also take water Lillies and Bamboo I have given others for their pond. there is loads of room for a waterfall that I normally have that goes over glass marbles to give the babbling brook sound and aerate the water. Can't wait.

I'm with Dawnie if she doesn't like yellow flowers I must admit. My son's wife really likes dahlias, but do you pronounce them day- li-ahs, or dar- li-ahs?
