VEGETABLE ROUNDS UNDER PINE TREE

AS OUR GARDEN IS MATTED WITH EUCALYPTS AND A PINE TREE, THESE RAISED BEDS MEAN THAT THE VEGETABLES WILL GROW WITHOUT ROOT PROBLEMS FROM THESE TREES.

THE VEGETABLE GARDEN STRUCTURE FROM OUTSIDE

HERE'S AN OUTSIDE VIEW OF THE VEGETABLE GARDEN STRUCTURE IN OUR BACK GARDEN. IT LOOKS DARK FROM THE OUTSIDE BUT IS SURPRISINGLY LIGHT INSIDE. MY HUSBAND'S WEBSITE IS http://www.greenscreenlandscaping.com.au/

A VEGETABLE ROUND IN OUR GARDEN

THESE RAISED BEDS MEAN NO BENDING, THE DARK PLASTIC HELPS RETAIN HEAT, THE MESH COVERING THE STRUCTURE KEEPS OUT MOSQUITOS AND OTHER INSECTS
