Bellevue Hill, NSW

The second wicking bed we installed at Bellevue hill had to be in line with the top of the first, so needed to be double height with a subfloor. This gives a very comfortable height for gardening, but still has the benefits of being fully lined with a water reservoir and wicking cells below.

The self watering bed will yield lots of vegetables in summer as it will have full sun all day. The large size is ideal for corn, zucchini, pumpkin, watermelon as well as the usual rows of small vegetables.

The owner was extremely happy with the result, and being in line with the first bed we did in May give it strong visual appeal.

Matched, double-height beds are a tidy way to terrace a sloping Bellevue Hill garden, combining good looks with comfortable, bend-free growing. Lined up with the first bed and lifted on a subfloor, this one catches full sun all day for strong summer cropping.

With the reservoir doing the watering, it will carry a full range of vegetables and herbs with little fuss. Built from durable, food-safe timber, this self-watering raised bed is made to last. UrbanVeg builds raised garden beds and vegetable garden beds across Bellevue Hill and the Eastern Suburbs.
