🌿🛠️ Throwback to a special project in West Brunswick where we custom-fit some cypress garden beds to an existing deck. We reshaped part of the stairs and matched those existing mitre angles for a snug, natural fit. Swipe to see the transformation and how it looked before!![]()

These beds were the non-wicking type, designed for hardy natives, but they still got the VEG touch with some high-quality liner to ensure longevity and protect the timber.![]()

December's here, and Melbourne's gardens are soaking up the wet start to summer. If you’ve managed to get most of your summer crops in early, then you’re hopefully being rewarded with some lush growth.![]()

Deciding whether to sow or plant? It's all about your garden's microclimates and your own circumstances. While it's getting a bit late for sowing tomatoes from seed, there's still time to start with seedlings. And if you've already got cucumbers and zucchinis in the ground, consider a second planting to keep the harvest going strong later into the season.. 🥒🌼 🍅![]()

Summer's knocking at the door, and Melbourne's gardens are wide awake and buzzing! Time to get outdoors and harvest those broad beans, silverbeet, lettuce, and other edibles thriving in the milder spring temps. When you're planting out, give those new seedlings a boost with compost and worm castings. Mulch is your friend, but keep it a little bit away from seeds and new seedlings to deter slaters and other critters who like to hide. Still having trouble? Consider a classic beer trap or if the snails are really getting you down, seize a dewy night to reduce the population manually.![]()

Now is also a key time to make sure your summer watering systems, like wicking beds or irrigation, are in tip top shape and ready to roll.![]()

Want a lush veggie garden like this and live in or around Melbourne? We sell and deliver our timber kit set wicking beds which include all the timber, screws, liner, plumbing and step by step written and video instructions to get you growing in no time. Building a raised garden bed couldn't be easier. Wicking beds use less water and you spend less time watering which makes them perfect during a hot summer with reduced rainfall. Being isolated from the ground means your veggies are removed from any competing tree roots and nasties in the suburban backyard soil. ![]()

Also, our cypress timber is salvaged from end of life shelter belts in South Gippsland which makes it the most ethical timber we can source locally. Timber that feels good to use! ![]()
