You’ll also need

Marking out paint; shovel; wheelbarrow; trowel; spirit level

Here’s how

STEP 1 Sit rings in position on grass in your preferred layout. Use marking out paint to mark the inside of the rings on the grass.

STEP 2 Use a shovel to remove grass inside the marked rings to expose the soil below.

STEP 3 In a wheelbarrow, mix brickie’s sand and cement in the ratio of 4:1. Add water and blend to create a relatively stiff mix. Use a trowel to spread mortar around outside of the area where the rings will sit.

STEP 4 Sit rings in position and push into mortar bed. Use a spirit level to check rings for level. Use trowel to haunch mortar around the inside of rings to hold in position.

STEP 5 Fill rings with quality potting mix, add plants, backfill with more mix and water in well.
