Ashfield Vegetable Planter Box

Raised vegetable planter with drip irrigation and a proper soil mix

The project

Planter Box Installation

This Ashfield property had compacted ground and very little space suited to growing vegetables. A raised planter box was built to fit the available spot with enough soil depth for food crops, filled with a suitable soil mix, and fitted with drip irrigation so watering stays consistent.

Project details

What the site presented, and what was built

The constraints that shaped this project and the work delivered.

What the site presented

Very little ground to plant into

The property had almost no ground space suited to growing vegetables in the soil.

Compacted, poor soil

What ground there was had been compacted and would not have supported productive growing.

What we built

Raised planter built to fit

A raised planter was built to suit the available space, sized for the soil depth vegetables need and built from materials suitable for food growing.

Drip irrigation inside the planter

Drip irrigation was installed inside the planter to make watering practical. Its operation and soil moisture still need checking as the planting grows.
