    How do you compare it with Bunnings 120 x 90 x 30cm Merino Raised Garden Bed $28

    • The merino beds are trash, plastic corners, thin AF - I have 4 from when they were $20 each.

    Just curious, do people ever put these types of garden beds on concrete or hard surface? assuming you would need some kind of inlay/base to put in it which is sold seperately?

    Just a head's up— I wanted a taller bed so I could do a bit of hugelkultur using the logs and debris from our lawn tidy. All of the taller beds were either too expensive, or in one piece and wouldn't fit in the car. I found that their cheapest bed can be overlapped to build a nearly 60cm high bed. Worked a treat! Those beds go on sale for $35 fairly often, too.

    As an experiment, I planted the same veg in a non-hugelkultur bed and the difference was pretty dramatic. I don't have to water the Hk beds nearly as much and the growth/healthy look of the Hk veg is much nicer.

    FYI!

      cheers mate, my wife has been banging on about using this technique, we ordered a monster garden bed but sadly it arrived bent and given the cost we have complained to the supplier! Nice to hear the technique is solid though :)

      • Yeah, I looked around once I'd researched it a bit. I found the Stratco-doubled-up to be the best way to go. When you place your logs, it doesn't matter whether they lie upright or lengthwise, but I figured they'd break down faster on end. Add in your greens/smaller branches and I then dropped in chicken manure to replace the nitrogen the logs would use up as they decomposed. Follow that with a good topsoil of garden/mushroom/mulch— careful that what you plant into isn't still breaking down, as the heat will burn new roots.

    • thanks, what are you growing ?

      • +1

        I grow only what we eat a lot of.

        Silverbeet, lettuces, capsicum, tomato, cukes, onions, herbs.

  • Doesn't the metal make it very hot in the summer?

    • +1

      It only contains soil, not like you're contacting it? If you mean too warm for plants- assuming it's mulched and watered, plants like it warm.

  • These things are hopeless.

    The paint inevitably gets chips and scratches and the whole thing rusts away.

    • I suppose eventually they'll break down, but ours are now over three years old and look the same as they always have— no noticeable rust, inside or out. However, ours are sat directly on the ground, so any excess water drains away. With all of the logs and branches that went into them in the beginning, I don't water as much as the wood is now broken down enough that it acts like a sponge. Last time I turned it to prep for the next planting, they were full of worms. There weren't any worms in any areas of this garden beforehand. It's very nice not having to stoop to work in them.

      • Mine was a rusted mess after one winter.

        • Wow. I wonder why? I didn't have any particular hopes & they just are fine so far (knock-on-wood). I went and bought 6 more to double up to add more space. I'm going to stagger the growing beds so I keep a constant growth. Planting about 2-4 weeks apart. Especially silverbeet & cos to be a constant pull-veg for salads (cos) and additives to sauces (SB), which I also steam with garlic as a side dish often. Cukes and tomatoes are also good to plant this way.

    • Never experienced either of these issues with the Stratco ones I've had for a few years. They're great quality. 100x better than wooden raised beds that rot away.

  • $89.99 here for NSW postcode. Tricky! Different prices for different locations?

  • Looks to be $49 in WA as well.
