Alan's Garden Blog

Indeed I do. Strangely enough when he is not skewering prosecution witnesses in court he loves to grow and cut roses to arrange in all their splendour abut the house. He was having trouble keeping the rose bushes alive so in desperation he put them in a couple of the watersaver gardens I sold him for vegetables. They have subsequently powered on remarkably.  I also have had success growing roses in my beds.

Nice to get such positive feedback: Hello Alan. Attached are photos of garden assembled and firing on all fronts - About 5 weeks after planting with a combination of seeds & seedlings. I am in my mid-70’s and not particularly mechanically astute, but I found the instructions, labelling and additional telephone advice made assembly of the larger raised unit pretty easy on my own (only drawback nobody to yell at). I put it on sleepers (perfect length) and rollers to let me clean underneath. It made a previously barren concrete area beautifully fertile. Honey bees and native bees ( hive and...

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.

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
