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. Built from durable, food-safe timber, they are made to last. UrbanVeg builds raised garden beds and self-watering vegetable beds across Castle Hill and The Hills District.
