Jannali, NSW

A good friend of ours wanted a garden bed to make the most of some sun glimpses at the side of his garage.

He should be successful growing herbs, potatoes, salad greens and other shade tolerant crops in winter, whilst the summer months will bring further success with a wider variety as the sun comes overhead.

Jannali's leafy blocks often have part-shaded spots like this one beside the garage, and they are more useful than people think. A raised bed placed to catch what sun there is will grow herbs, potatoes, leafy greens and other shade-tolerant crops well through winter, then open up to a wider range as the summer sun climbs overhead.

Because the bed waters itself from the reservoir below, even a tucked-away Jannali corner stays productive with little attention. Built from durable, food-safe timber, it is made to last. UrbanVeg builds raised garden beds and self-watering vegetable beds across Jannali and the Sutherland Shire.
