Alan's Garden Blog

Hi Alan,  I promised to send you photos of my wicking bed, and since it’s been over a year now I’ve attached some for you. So far I’ve grown lettuce, celery, eggplant, tomato (lasting 6 months!), broccoli, silver beet, beetroot, beans, cucamelon, leeks and garlic. I think that’s everything!!! Recently, I had members from my garden club (ROGI – Redland Organic Growers Inc) over on a visit, and they were very impressed with the bed. Thank you for a great product!!!  Kind regards, I’ve been growing garlic for about 4-5 years now, and thought I might try it in the...

The free freight promotion for October exceeded all expectations. We have even had a night shift working to keep up. Still getting gardens out within two weeks.

  Nice to get a message back. Because Judd purchased the night sky (black) he decided to go with a black trim. Hey Alan, we got your gardens installed no problem (photos below). Instructions were great. Our landscaper recommended a rubber covering for the edge that we were able to get at Bunnings in black, so this has worked well. We haven't fully planted and mulched the top yet, but that's a weekend project for soon :) Quite a number of people, including our landscaper, hadn't seen gardens before, so we've been recommending you to people. Thanks again Judd

This weekend! At Brookfield Showgrounds what will be a fantastic garden expo is on. Heaps of stalls and best of all I will be there with my Watersaver Gardens, exclusion nets and canopy frames. Come and say hello, I'm always open to do deals at shows. More info at plant expo.com.au  

There is a good article on wick gardens written by Phil Dudman. It is accurate which is unusual, most of what I have read or watched on TV has errors in the content. I took out an add on the following page of the magazine promoting Watersaver Gardens with a free freight discount which has bought in plenty of work! The free freight is open to everyone until the end of October.
