Hi Darren

Attached is a photo of our vegetable beds we purchased from you before Christmas (there was group of families that did a bulk purchase). We bought 3 - 2m x 1m, 40cm high beds. They have been just brilliant. (My husband just came down a few weeks ago with Greig Brown and picked up another bed, 1.5m round).

We have got beans, peas, broccoli, lettuce and tomatoes in the beds at the moment.

I put the cherry tomatoes in just after Christmas and we have been eating them since approx February.

I also put in golden nugget pumpkin which is perfect for small beds.

They grew wonderfully and will grow them again.

The beans and peas have been doing well also.

As a test I put broccoli in the garden and in the beds. The broccoli in the beds is now at picking stage and the ones in the garden have just not grown at all and were savaged by all sorts of bugs.

They are also a perfect height for our kids - age 7 and 3. They love going out picking the veggies.

Slimline Raised Garden Beds

Made these slimline raised garden beds for the Eco Village at Currumbin!

Note the rod in the middle to stop blow-outs!

Slimline Painted Tanks

2008-11-09T19:16:00.000-08:00

Our slimline tanks are proving to be really popular - especially for townhouses and small blocks. Plastic tanks are not fire rated (they melt in a fire), so are not allowed on the fence line - whearas gal tanks are permitted.

So, little places can put one of these down the sides easily.

The smallest width I go is 850mm. The length and height is up to you. The colour is up to you as well!

The one pictured is a 3000L slimline, painted in two-pac in Off White - and was one of 12 made for Emmanuel College, Carrara.

Big and Black

2008-11-09T19:06:00.000-08:00

One of my favourite clients, Des Grevell, has sent me in some photos of his big, black tank - 10,000 litres!

Des loves it, and even though I had my doubts about the colour, it actually just kind of vanishes in the garden - and looks great.

This is the second black tank he has bought off me - he moved house and wanted the same tank again!

Raised Garden Beds 2

2008-11-09T18:21:00.000-08:00

The raised Garden Beds are proving to be hugely popular! These little round ones are perfect for a small garden or courtyard!

They come in different heights as well - great for gardeners with bad backs!

Gal Tanks

2008-08-27T04:52:00.001-07:00

People still love the gal finish on tanks - and they look pretty cool in back yards - especially of really old, or really modern places.

I might be prejudiced - but I think they look the best!

Pictured is the 2200L round ($805), the 5000L round ($1323) and the 3000L slimline ($1950).

The slimlines come in two standard sizes and one uses less material - therefore is cheaper. Custom sizes may also vary in price.

Andy Warhol's Soup Can for Grey Street, South Bank

2008-08-27T04:42:00.000-07:00

Did a job last year for South Bank and GOMA for the Andy Warhol Exhibition.

Made a giant soup can - exactly to scale - for the exhibition. Made the front page of the Gold Coast Sun!

It's still there - South Bank use it with various skins advertising whatever they have on. Not as good as the Soup Can though!

8500L White Tank for West End

2008-08-27T04:36:00.001-07:00

Finished last week this big tank for a house in West End, Brisbane.

The white paint turns out much better than I originally thought it would. Black looks great too - just vanishes in the garden. Have done quite a few white tanks for Brisbane now - must be a trend!

2200 L Round Painted Tanks - Painted for Large Project

2008-08-27T04:25:00.000-07:00

Did a heaps of tanks for a large project - and suggested we paint the tanks different colours to match the roof and downpipes. We painted them in 2 -pac (I always use 2-pac - looks great and if it's scratched, you can spray over it with a can of paint from Bunnings!)

They turned out amazing! I just made them all up in gal aquaplate - and then the plumber supplied me with how many tanks in each of the Colourbond colours. He was pleased - and so was the builder!

$891 each

Raised Garden Beds

2008-08-27T02:45:00.000-07:00

These are my latest creation.

Fabulous for little back yards, and dead easy to set up. Fill with dirt, plant your veges and you are away!

I've put plastic piping around the rim too for safety. Putting one in the garden this weekend - I'll include those pix as they come in!

$90 for this size - or I can make slimline, or colourbond or whatever you like!
