I have an "EB" pinto block sitting at home spare that meets all your requirements. Does it matter that it has a big hole in the side and now has flowers growing out of the bores? I wont charge extra for the fauna [(#)][88]

I always thought that a pinto must be good for something, and now I know what it is. Does bore size matter Gareth or don't the plants mind????

This one is +60 which gives plenty of room for root growth. A little fertiliser can achieve extra cubic capacity ...

There is a 2 litre escort at Pick-a-part in Kilsyth, not sure if it is an EB block.
What is the difference?
