They are selling out thier Raised Gardens. Plastic solid boards that make a about a 4 foot square. about 5 inches high.. and they can be stacked to make them taller..
It would make a gret hatchling outdoor pen or russian pen..
They were on sale for $17 today... normally $34 i think..

I got this one at Home Depot a few weeks back for less than $20. All I did was stacked up pallets to create a base then framed it with bamboo. I will post pics tomorrow after the rain stops, but I planted clover, dandelion, and chia seeds 3 days ago and now I have a little forest going!! I plan on using bamboo garden edgers to enclose it.

Tico, that looks great. It will male a great outdoor sunning pen for a small tort. Like a baby leopard, for example.

That does look great. Good find!

 

[Laura]

is it JUST a planter? or do you plan to put a tort in there? It will climb and fall out wont it??

 

[ticothetort2]

It will be an outdoor pen for my tort once I get him. That is what the bamboo garden edger will be for, they have them at most garden stores and it's usually not to expensive.

This is from Home Depot. It is 8"X27" (should be good for a hatchling to juvenile as far as strength will go)

Thanks. I can't wait Tom, my wife and I are like kids counting down the days till Christmas!! We are excited to be getting such a well started hatchling from the "Tortoise Guru"...

Thanks Laura

Nice Tico

I may have to go get some for the baby tortoises I will acquire this winter haha

Also those are great for those who want to grow various greens/weeds for their tortoises.

Here is what a few days of rain will do for new growth!! San Diego has had such off weather this year, but it never hurts to be a little more green. I probably went a bit overboard on the seeding but I figure I can transplant over to another planter that I built. Inside so far is white clover, chia, dandelion, cosmos, and marigold.

Here's before:

And a couple after:

I will keep pics posted as I convert it into more of an outdoor enclosure!
