    4. They're a foot cube which means I can get 5 boxes per 4x8 sheet of 18mm marine or interior grade ply which is rather expensive.

    The guidance states that only one pound containers(max) may be stored in each compartment, therefor four one pound pots. Swiss 1kg pots should be decanted into two smaller ones in order to comply. Each compartment has to have a thirty percent space above each pot so the size is important.

    I've just read a newer version of the guidance and it would appear that you may now be able to store 1kg pots in each compartment, but trials continue to improve the box design!
