Free: Yellow Bamboo For A Pot (Ramsgate CT11) Gifted Removed, this morning, some bamboo [yellow stems]. It needs to be in a pot otherwise it will take over your garden. There are about 4 very tall pieces with roots [6-8 ft]. Turns out bamboo isn't as tough as I thought. So it will need to be planted today or tomorrow for best transplant success.

Request: Tall Table And A Bar Stool (Ramsgate CT11) Withdrawn A friend has kyphosis. It's a spinal curvature of the back. It means that their stomach gets compressed and it's easier to eat when standing or perching. Are you able to help with a high table so that they can eat standing - 35" or 90cm high? They have room for a table big enough for 1 place setting. They could also do with a bar stool that's sturdy enough to perch ... but light enough to move with 1 hand. If you can help with either tall table or bar stool, I'd be very grateful. Many thanks
