Vegetable pyramid - Grow your own vegies and fruit


Vegetable pyramid from self-watering planter boxes
We grow a substantial amount of vegetables on a couple of square metres of concrete yard by
using our invention, self watering planter boxes - single, double and triple decker. They are arranged into a 3 dimensional, terrace shaped pyramid. As soil depth varies from from 15 -  30 - 60 cm,  any vegetables and some fruit can be grown. We grow herbs, tomatoes, capsicums, eggplant, cucumbers, potatoes, carrots, red radish, beetroot, spring onions, garlic, and leaks to name just  a few. Fruit grown includes strawberries, raspberries, cape gooseberries,  even a small 2m high paw paw tree. You can grow whatever you like to eat as the the opportunities are unlimited. More importantly, the vegetable pyramid is made of self-watering boxes which are water efficient and save you time with daily watering. As the plants get a constant water supply, they thrive throughout summer without shade even in the full sun. You don't need to dig up your backyard if you want to grow fruit and vegies.
- Maximize space - Growing in terraces (growing vertically),
- Creating a variety of growing spaces (orientation, full sun, part shade)
- Water efficient
- Utilizing space (concrete or dirt in which nothing would grow)
The pyramid proves it works so well that we want to share the idea with you.
