Yes....I did notice that. I have all or atleast most of mine growing in wooden boxes so i just screw cup hooks wherever needed. But i do like the idea of the mesh.

Nice olives and grow box ozzy!
How would you feel about putting together a post on how you built that beauty? What is the base made from?
Thanks,
Steven

Yes just using the edge of the box for tie down points wasn't going to do the job on this one, I needed a lot more options, the box is permapine with galv screws and mesh, I like to cut all the boards at an angle to give it a Bonsai pot appearance, more appealing than the trusty old white foam boxes ( the missus made me get rid of all of those from around the garden, she hated them :( ).

Heres a picture of an empty grow box, they're pretty straight forward to make, you can use old pallet wood that you can usually get for nothing if you don't want to fork out for permapine which could get expensive if you make a few.
