Castle Hill, NSW

This customer in Castle Hill wanted two wicking beds to make the most of the only year-round sunny spot in the garden.

However we need to be mindful of pool regulations when constructing near a pool fence so we advised leaving a gap exceeding the minimum legal distance behind the beds. This assists with access from behind in any case, so wasn't really a problem.

We have now done a number of garden bed installations in Castle Hill - it's always nice to see the word spreading about the benefits of wicking beds for growing vegetables.

On the larger family blocks of Castle Hill, raised beds are a natural fit, giving a generous, comfortable growing area that does not depend on the area's difficult clay ground. A self-watering bed then keeps the soil evenly moist, so a busy household gets a good harvest without daily watering.

Word tends to spread locally once neighbours see how well these beds grow, and we have now installed a number around Castle Hill. Kiln-dried and food-safe, the timber is built to last for years of family use. We've built quite a few beds around Castle Hill now, so if the word's reached you and you're after a self-watering vegetable garden in The Hills District, we'd be glad to help.
