Miranda, NSW

This bed sits in a perfect suntrap with a northerly aspect, allowing it to make the most of the sun all year round.

This level of sunshine will make it even easier to grow a variety of vegetables, along with the self watering system, and our highly nutritious wicking potting mix.

A north-facing position is gold for a vegetable garden, and this Miranda bed makes full use of it, catching sun right through the year. Paired with the steady moisture drawn up from the reservoir, that aspect lets a Miranda gardener grow fruiting crops like tomatoes, capsicum and beans well beyond the usual season.

It is the kind of spot where a self-watering raised garden bed really earns its keep, holding water in reserve through the dry Shire months so growth never stalls. Built to last from food-safe timber, it should be productive for many years. UrbanVeg installs raised garden beds and self-watering vegetable beds across Miranda and the Sutherland Shire.
