Miranda, NSW

A neighbour of ours was keen to find out how we grow so many vegetables, and so we installed them this bed under their window to make use of an unused sun trap.

So far they are having some great results and are growing lots of different vegetables.

Even a narrow, overlooked strip beside a Miranda house can become a productive garden with the right placement, as this one shows. Tucked into a suntrap that was going unused, the raised bed quietly turns out a changing mix of vegetables through the seasons with the reservoir doing the watering.

For busy Miranda households, a self-watering raised garden bed is an easy way to grow fresh food without the daily upkeep a traditional patch demands. Made from durable, food-safe timber, it is built to keep performing for years. UrbanVeg builds raised garden beds and vegetable garden beds throughout Miranda and the Sutherland Shire.
