Tomatoes: plant them out now or wait until after Cup Day? What are you doing this year?

This is one of the many questions that Melbourne edible gardeners ask ourselves in October. We've got a list of things to plant and do in the Melbourne garden this month in our latest post on October in the Garden. Check it out via the link in our bio.

We’re so grateful to be able to continue support

We’re so grateful to be able to continue supporting both our amazing suppliers and our community to keep growing food during the current restrictions. This is 18 DIY wicking bed kits that we made up using @ceresfairwood sustainably sourced cypress timber being secured at our Brunswick warehouse before heading to Meredith Community Garden in Central Victoria. We’re looking forward to seeing the Meredith community growing more food together in these. 💚

Another lawn transformed into a beautiful edible garden just in time for spring. We finished installing these cypress wicking beds at a home in Fairfield this week and now this family will be eating from their garden for many years to come. We're installing during the current lockdown, so if you're in Melbourne and you've got a lawn that you want us to turn into an edible garden, get in touch with us via the link in our bio. #permaculture #permaculturegarden #gardenlife #organicgardening #gardening #urbangardens #urbangardening #urbanagriculture #urbanfoodsystems #retrosuburbia #foodsecurity #growfood #growyourownfood #ediblegardens #veryediblegardens #veg #melbourne #cupressusmacrocarpa #goldencypress #montereycypress #ethicaltimber #localtimber #wickingbeds #waterwisegardening #waterefficient #gardenbeds #raisedgardenbeds #vegetablegardens #veggiebeds

Coriander - love it or hate it? This polarising herb is one of the many edible plants that can be planted in your garden now that spring has arrived. Read our tried and true tips for what to do in the Melbourne garden in September via the link in our bio. #permaculture #permaculturegarden #gardenlife #organicgardening #gardening #urbangardens #urbangardening #urbanagriculture #urbanfoodsystems #retrosuburbia #foodsecurity #growfood #growyourownfood #ediblegardens #veryediblegardens #veg #melbourne

If there’s a space in your garden, we can make food grow in it. We love transforming small, unusual and unused spaces into thriving edible gardens. Here are some of our favourite wicking bed installations in spaces that you might not expect to see food growing – under clotheslines, on rooftops, under windows, between verandah posts and in that weird little sloping gap between the fence, footpath and clothes line. Check out @veg_wicking_beds for more of our wicking bed installations across Melbourne or our wicking beds website (link in our bio). #vegwickingbeds #wickingbeds #veryediblegardens #goldencypress #cupressusmacrocarpa #ediblegardendesign #smallspacegardening #ediblegardening #permaculture

We've been getting lots of enquiries about our wicking bed conversion kits lately, so here is some information on what's in our kits.

These kits will work in pretty much any type of raised garden bed in almost any size or shape - timber, wine barrels, corrugated, square, round, triangular, rectangular, old water tanks, baths - you name it. We'll cut them to fit your garden beds and send them to you via our carbon neutral courier service anywhere in Australia.

Order online via the link in our bio.
