Armidale, NSW

A gentleman in Armidale kindly engaged us to install 5 wicking beds in his spacious front yard.

He was already clearly a proficient gardener, and very keen to put something solid and effective in place.

Despite heavy rain, we got them installed and look forward to seeing them bursting with veg.

These beds should get full sun all year round in the position they are in, so should be very prolific.

The New England Tablelands around Armidale are cold and frosty in winter with a short summer window, which is where a raised bed helps most: the lifted soil warms faster in spring than the frozen ground, and the reservoir carries crops through dry spells, stretching the season at both ends.

In a full-sun position, five beds give an Armidale grower serious capacity for a regional garden. Built from durable, food-safe timber, these raised vegetable beds are made to last in a tough climate. UrbanVeg builds raised garden beds and vegetable garden beds across Armidale and the New England region.
