This wash station is built according to the dimensions fot the 1.75 bushel nolt's green bins, but measurements could easily be adjusted to fit with any other size vessel. We like this size, and we have some bins with holes and a comparably sized tupperware that holds water. A general materials list is as follows:
3-6 nolt's 1.75 bushel green bins (any other uniformly sized wash bin with strong edges will do--choose based on preferences re size, holes or no holes, other uses...)
about 6 pressure treated 2 x 4 x 8's
about 2 pressure treated 1 x 4 x 8's
one 1'' diameter wooden dowel
2 small rubber wheels, and metal rod for axel
hardware (2 1/2 inch screws?)
Tools:
- electric drill
- chop saw
Accessories:
- shade cloth--we use an old sheet that we stake into the ground on whichever side of the station is facing the sun. the original design has a shade cloth that is too small to protect the vegetables
- hooks for crossbar
- bike basket to hold scissors / rubber bands / harvesting implements/ etc.
