My Own Organic Garden ;Thanks to EzyVegies

 

I have always wanted to grow vegetables in my yard but the thing is,
Australian soil is not ideal for growing organic vegetables. Good
thing I read EzyVegies featured in an article. It caught my interest
instantly since EzyVegies Australia has the perfect solution to my
gardening needs. Thanks to EzyVegies and their amazing raised garden
beds, I am now spending my afternoons in my garden, watching my
vegetables grow and soon, I will be able to enjoy my very own organic
vegetables. Visit EzyVegies at http://www.ezyvegies.com.au/

Your products are a ripoff and very poorly made.

Ask in here for *FREE* ideas.

 



I had a look at the site and the raised beds. Is very poorly designed when
people have to kneel down to them. Is the case of why not just plant things
in the ground. They should do themselves a favour by getting them up to hip
height. This will help those with bad backs and those that are wheelchair
bound. Otherwise it is a good looking site.

i think (based on what people do & talk about doing) that the point of
raised beds isn't raising them to a height that's actually convenient - it's
more for drainage, or in order to hold new soil (not from one's own yard,
imported soil, if one's own soil is pretty miserable). if you really wanted
a hip-high bed i think you would construct a no-dig garden on a tabletop,
wouldn't you? - you wouldn't have a raised bed that's more than a metre
high, i don't think! the cost of the soil would just be nuts.

      Otherwise it is a good looking site.

good-looking isn't really going to help if the product is shite :-)

however, the person who is spamming (and all his 'friends') are apparently
'non-working "moms" ' . i have no earthly idea how a bunch of 'non-working
"moms" ' would have any idea at all what australian soil is like. since we
have soils ranging from unworkable gravel to loam that looks like chocolate
cake, you could quite conveniently disregard this amateurish spam entirely,
loosecanon!

Generally drainage, but there is no reason why you can not build them up
to a convenient high to save bending over. You do not have to buy soil,
just scrap an inch over the yard and throw in all your organic matter.

Hint, the bottom doesn't have to be soil, if could be rubble. Ours
started when we put in 200' of drainage channels that I back filled with
bluemetal and we had to have ten piers under part of the house re-
leveled, so we had a mountain of basically heavy clay.

The gotcha is the width of the walls. We have three genuine railway
sleeper side one for ours, but that is 12" of growing space you loose all
around. OTOH, it was the cheapest and strongest raised bed construction
we could get. i never priced any steel bin construction as there was
nothing suitable at the local steel suppliers.

Another thing with raised beds is you really have to keep the nutrient
going into them as that improved drainage can impoverish them rapidly.
And they always seem dry. It isn't uncommong for use to spend 4x$4 on
compost/manure and $20 on mulch each time we plant one out.
