As we do every year , we like to try out a few new ideas , plants and growing concepts in our trial garden at Old World Garden Farms – and this class , one we are really chomp at the moment to have a go this springtime with our new 12 - 1 Olle Garden Bed scheme .
One thing is for sure , we love growing in raised seam . Not only are they attractive , but they can really carry off some of the tougher function of gardening . Like bending all the way down to the ground . Or possess to struggle with constant weeding !
Raised beds are a great choice to traditional gardening methods . They also happen to be perfect for those who might have mobility takings . We use them around our farm along with our main lift run-in garden to spring up all kinds of herbs , flower and extra vegetables .
The Olle 12 in 1 garden system. The panels to this garden are shipped to your door, and you can assemble them in to 12 different shapes, including a 17″ tall bed or a 32″ taller bed space.
Up until now , we have always create all of our raise beds from woodwind . But as we get a bit old , one of the thing we keep in mind now is the maintenance and longevity of the thing we use . If you do paint or tarnish the international edges of a wood bed , it needs care every few class . And , of trend , it does ask replaced when it eventually waste .
We have looked at other raised bed system besides Mrs. Henry Wood before , but were always a piece aweary of how well they were built , and how well they would support up . Plastic just never seems to work , and metal can be quite weighed down , especially if you have to lug it home from a store !
All of those aforementioned issues are exactly why , when we fancy theOlle garden beds , we catch activated . First and first , they are attractive . The color usable can sure enough play off any garden system . In our sheath , the Midnight Grey was a good arrant friction match to our nearby garden shed .
The panels and hardware shipped right to our door and were easy to install. Each piece is covered by a protective film that is easy to pull off before assembling.Not only are they easy to assemble, they are easy to move as well.
As for durability , they are made of 24 gauge galvanized steel coated with Aluzinc . Aluzinc is a zinc - aluminum metal , which is both rust - resistant and durable against extreme weather condition . The retentive lasting full stop is crucial , as being able to garden for fifteen or twenty years in the same watercraft would be nice !
But what we really like was how easy it was to have the garden ship right to our door . And to boot – how quick and easy it was to assemble ! ( See video below ) In fact , I mean it took us all of about 30 minutes to have both of our garden units together . With elementary bolts and nuts that come with the outfit , it went together fast .
