TGP (thanks to Ken Johnson) is making available to growers, Ken's trialed and proven design for raised garden beds. At the tucker patch we are currently planting some of these beds. The beds are made of recycled materials and range in cost for materials from $20-$50. New materials will cost more. If you build them yourself there is no labour cost. Mick O'Brien, who has improved the design, has also offered to make them for the not so practical amongst us, for $50 each bed...you supply the materials.

The bed design includes
- metal frame (which can be buried in the ground for a weed and animal barrier.
- metal tube support for strengthening bed and holding polypipe hoops
- hoops to support bird netting, shadecloth and plastic.
- tie down holes to attach the netting and shadecloth to the bed

The beds can be seen by visiting the Tucker Patch site. If anyone would like to order some beds please contact Mick O'Brien (65582369) or Ken Johnson (65583191)
