We have had such a good response to the wicking bed workshop that we have added a second on Sunday the 3rd of April at 10am

A practical workshop on everything you need to know to create your own productive wicking beds - from the range of materials you use or repurpose, how to create reservoirs and establish the wicking effect to what growing media will guarantee success.

This worm farm was no longer needed for worms so we converted it into a wicking bed for mint. The tap is closed off and the hollow legs serve as the overflow. Keeps the mint well watered and stops it taking over a shared bed.

After taking delivery of a couple of IBC wicking beds, Jill and Roland built this clever arching trellis to join them together. An efficient use of growing area and air space.

Have you ever looked at your lawn and thought ummmm that is space I could use for a productive vegie or herb patch .

Is it using up your valuable resources

Water, fertiliser, real estate and your time?

Or are you just sick of mowing and using all that fossil fuel.

Why not start off small?

We've been so busy in the garden ,new veggie beds ,new wicking beds, four new chooks ,two new rainwater tanks ,a whole bunch of new worms for the worm farm (which is going to be epic) and lots of greens to harvest for our green juices and smoothies fresh from the garden.

Plus there's been lots of weeds for the compost !

We have started our special mix compost and we are busy gathering food scraps and coffee grounds from local cafes and anyone who has surplus.
