How can I build a storage cabinet to attach to my shed?

I want to build a mini storage cabinet for my gardening supplies. I would like to attach it to my shed. I’ve seen somewhere, in a magazine I think, where a person built one. The top opens up and makes a kind of roof, and there are shelves inside with a desk for a work bench. It would be about 6ft by 4 ft. Any help would be great. Thanks.

Would like to know BEST catalog sites for ordering gardening supplies….?

I was wondering if anyone could let me know a few of the BEST sites to order seeds, sets, gardening supplies online? I know if you ask several different people, you’ll get several different answers, but what are the few BEST known, reputable and INexpensive places to purchase seeds, sets, or anything for your garden?

I have heard before that there are about 4 or 5 really good places, can anyone relay them to me…or their sites? Thanks SO much in advance!

What is a good substitute for large plastic water containers?

I use plastic for a water storage. There is news that plastic containers leach chemicals into stored liquids. I am currently using 55 gallon plastic drums for water. I am looking for a way to keep roughly 200 gallons of water in a safe and sterile container. If anyone knows of any such container please let me know here.

In addition to water storage I enjoy gardening and aquaculture (keeping fish for food). The majority of fish tank plumbing is made of PVC plastic and the majority of pots and gardening supplies are also made of plastic. I would like to find alternatives for these as well. Keeping the fish in a ground pond without a liner is not a valid option as too much water is wasted from ground leaching. I would like a container for my fish that is not plastic. The fish tank size is roughly 50 gallons but I would prefer something larger, even upwards of 1000 gallons.

Lastly, I am capable of building and utilizing nearly any resource for this purpose. Even if the answer is a stretch, I may be able to figure something out.
