St Georges Basin, NSW

On a beautiful day in St George's Basin, we installed three wicking beds against the fence line for a retired couple looking to maximise growing in a sunny spot.

The slope necessitated three beds at staggered levels, to keep a good water level in the subterranean water reservoir stored in each bed.

Can't wait to see the results from these three beds.

Sloping blocks are common on the South Coast, and staggering raised beds down the fall of the land, as we did at St Georges Basin, keeps each reservoir level while making a tidy run of productive beds. A sunny fence line like this one should reward a retired couple well.

With the reservoirs doing the watering, the beds stay productive across the seasons with little effort. Built from durable, food-safe timber, these self-watering raised vegetable beds are made to last. UrbanVeg builds raised garden beds across St Georges Basin and the South Coast.
