Wicking Garden Beds in the Sutherland Shire

The Sutherland Shire is where UrbanVeg started, and it is still where we install the most wicking beds. From Cronulla and Caringbah on the coast to Sutherland, Miranda, Gymea Bay and Jannali, the Shire's sandy, free-draining soils and warm coastal aspect make it close to ideal for growing vegetables once you solve the watering problem. That is exactly what a wicking bed does: it stores water in a sealed reservoir in the base and lets the plants draw it up from below, so a Shire garden keeps producing through the dry coastal summer with only a top-up every few weeks.

Because we are based in Miranda, we can quote, prefabricate and install across the Shire quickly, and we have built everything here from single courtyard planters in Caringbah to accessible beds for seniors in Sutherland and arch-trellis setups in Cronulla. The projects below show the range of Sutherland Shire gardens we have
worked in.
