Every gardener needs an outdoor sink station

by Tricia

I was browsing through gardening sites earlier today trying to get ideas for our garden and I came across this fantastic Outdoor Sink Station.

I don’t know about you, but each spring and then in early summer I spend a lot of time outdoors planting seedlings that I’ve grown indoors during the late winter and early spring months, or flats of plants that I’ve purchased from a local nursery.

Planting is messy business! Heck, even weeding or spending time putting fresh soil and compost on the garden is a dirty job.

Rather than trudge inside with dirty hands (my shoes, socks and clothing are usually well dusted too!) it would be nice to have a sink outdoors.

An outdoor sink would also come in handy when it comes time to pluck radishes, carrots, potatoes and other veggies from the soil. You could easily give them a rinse before bringing them into your kitchen.

If you use your backyard and or garden for entertaining guests – sitting outdoors barbecuing on the grill and eating outdoors it might also be handy to have a sink nearby.

What I really like about this Outdoor Sink Station is that there’s also a full size hose located at the bottom of the station. So you might end up having access to a hose closer to the garden than you did in the past. Plus the outdoor sink hose reel has a water-powered engine inside which uses water power to automatically reel-in the hose!
