Waverley Park Communal Garden BIG DIG

These raised bed gardens were set up using the Wicking method: by digging in a lined pond under the raised beds, you can save on the need to water, in fact, all going well, this method waters the plants from below rather than above. The raised beds we used are over a metre high, so fingers crossed the water can capillary up that far. High beds were used so folks don't need to bend down and dogs n cats r less likely to jump up and do their doo's.
