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!

Raised Garden Beds 2

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!

Raised Garden Beds

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!
