Dapto, NSW

A customer in Dapto wanted to make the most of an area of lawn just in front of a raised deck.

This sun trap will be great for growing all sorts of vegetable of various sizes; the addition of a trellis later will also allow for climbing veg.

Turning a strip of lawn into a productive suntrap is an easy win in a Dapto garden, and two raised beds in front of a deck make good use of the space. A self-watering raised bed copes well with the Illawarra's wet and dry swings, keeping the soil evenly moist from the reservoir below.

There is room for a range of crops, with a trellis to add later for climbers. Built from durable, food-safe timber, these raised vegetable beds are made to last. UrbanVeg builds raised garden beds across Dapto and the Illawarra.
