Noticed in my "B" catalogue today a raised garden bed with GH cover over the top, there were no dimensions on it and I have not been to check em out yet. Two thoughts; 1 if its roughly 1mx1m square then the GH top half would fit straight over the top of an IBC GB. 2 if the raised garden bed part is water tight or could be made water tight easily you have ready made GBs with GH covers. Has anyone seen these in store? http://www.bunnings.com.au/emag/bunnings/index.aspx?document=catalogue/nsw_metro They are on page 14of16 on the far right hand side with team member "rosie" standing next to it. |

not bad a price if you could use them as a GB without too much work. From the looks of the pic they are just gal framing and colourbond sheets. Am I right? |

As with most things like that, I don't think they would be too great... I've seen those Birdy galv growbeds and they are seriously crap, you have to screw lots of small bits of corrugated iron together. |

I have just used plastic that I had lying around. The big GB is covered in a big sheet of clear plastic similar density to black plastic you use for garden bed lining. The smaller one is covered with the big plastic bags that I get plumbing supplies in from my supplier. They are quite heavy duty bags. I just split them down one side and across the bottom and you have about a 1.5x1m sheet of plastic. They would not be long lasting due to UV but since I get heaps of em each week I don;t really care plus these covers will come down again once the weather heats up. |
