WICKER BEDS
The wicker bed is a relatively new horticultural system developed especially for dry areas. The benefits are:
Simple to construct
No water evaporation or waste
No need to water for up to 10 days - plants look after themselves if you're away
No dig garden
You cannot overwater
Because moisture levels in a wicker be are consistent, plants do not becove stressed and thus more susceptible to disease and disorders caused by stress during growth. Learn from the ground up how a wicker bed does its work so well. Construct a simple bed in our garden and take your knowledge home to your own garden
