I would have a lid for a potting bench if I were to design one, something
like a hinged lid on a desk that lowers for writing, but secures the top
part of the desk in a folded position. There would be a place below for
potting soil. The potting area would have 6 inch tall sides to prevent
making messes. You need places for scoops, labels, pens, pencils, shears,
and records.
