Raised Vegie Gardens

Grow your own Fruit and Veg
    
   - great for the kids, tastier,
   and chemical free.

Have you tasted fresh organic home grown fruit and veg?

Why not join the increasing trend and grow your own herbs and vegetables in a Raised Vegetable Garden. This is organic gardening at its simplest and best. 

Made from ethically-sourced, durable, and sustainable Golden Cypress pine, ecomad™ will  have your vegie patch up and running in no time.

Our Raised Vegie Garden service involves levelling, and constructing your raised vegie bed.  If you want to extend this service, then we can prepare your vegies beds ready for planting.  And if you want to do it all yourself then simply purchase one of our raised vegie garden kits in our online shop.   

The timber comes untreated.  This leaves the decision up to you as to whether you would like to stain it, paint it, or just leave it to the elements (goes grey).

Suitable for homes, child care centres, kindergartens, and schools

GOLDEN CYPRESS

  • Strong
  • Not from native forests: Unlike redgum, cypress pine*, stringybark, "Eco-Select", etc.
  • Unlike recycled - no nails, checks or holes!
  • Ethically sourced: Only over-mature, dangerous, sick or redundant trees are harvested.
  • Intrinsically beautiful: Like Kauri, lustrous and golden. Fiddleback is quite common.
  • Exceptionally low shrinkage: Unbeatable 3.3% Tangentally & 1.6% Radially (C.mac).
  • Lighter weight: Makes handling and lifting less tiring. And safer. Lighter than pine!
  • Durable
  • Sustainable: Unlike rainforests, new plantations are being added continually.
  • Naturally termite resistant: With a naturally delightful and mildly spicy fragrance.
  • Chemical free: Unlike the toxins in treated pine for example. No glues to fail either.
  • Locally grown and milled: Unlike oregon, merbau and cedar, which are imported.
