Been very dry this year, but the Vegie patch is doing well.

 

I chose the Microshade Sleepers from Bunnings, look great and perfect for Garden\Kids play area's etc :smile: Termite resistant also

 

Made 2 straight up to get things going, based on a Hugelkulture principle, will be making 2 more shortly, Vegies are going well.

no shading on the side at all ever, just the top, I am currently training star jasmin up the back side of it and over the top, natural cover :wink:

moved onto another little project, changing over an old goat paddock into a productive vegie plot, lots of work to be done

Hi There,

Just wondering what wood/treatment those sleepers and uprights are?

Can't find "Microshade sleepers" on the bunnings website.

They look great btw, simple and effective.

Cheers
