The best chook systems don’t just house chickens. They become part of the garden.

Beautiful work from Casey and Luke on this Wonga Park install, featuring a large chook house, straw yard and day run carefully wrapped around a beautiful old mulberry tree.

The chook house gives the flock a dry, secure and comfortable place for roosting and laying. The straw yard creates a fox-resistant everyday space for scratching, dust bathing and turning garden scraps into future compost. The day run extends their access into the garden, giving them more room to forage while helping manage weeds, pests and fallen fruit.

Designed well, a chook system can turn separate parts of the backyard into one integrated system: shade, shelter, scratching, foraging, fertility and easy daily care all working together.

Built from untreated cypress, with quality mesh and hardware, our systems are made to last and can be custom designed to suit the space, the people and the chooks.

Thinking about a proper chook setup for your backyard, school, community garden or larger property? Get in touch through our website and we can help plan a system that fits your garden.

Make the most of your wicking bed space with a strong, movable climbing frame.

Built from untreated cypress, heavy-duty 100 mm steel mesh and stainless steel hinges, these freestanding A-frames provide plenty of support for beans, cucumbers, peas and other climbing crops.

Move them between beds as the seasons change, then fold and store them when they’re not needed. Because they sit above the soil, there’s no need for deep stakes that could damage your wicking bed liner.

Available as an add-on to existing and new wicking bed installations by Very Edible Gardens.

Starting from $360 including GST.

Some recent wicking bed installs from around Melbourne.

Each one custom fit to suit the space and how you actually want to use your garden, using a system we’ve pioneered, tested and refined in Melbourne backyards over 16+ years.

Built from untreated, ethically sourced cypress with solid construction and a reservoir that keeps moisture down in the soil profile where it’s needed. Less watering, less often, and more consistent growth.

The result is a growing space that’s easier to manage and more reliable year round, through hot, dry and even wet months.

If you’re thinking about getting your garden sorted, building a bit more resilience, or stepping away from the supermarket fruit and veg aisle, get in touch:

🌿 A solid day on the tools for Adam and Luke, installing this 4-bay compost system at Kensington Neighbourhood Centre.

Built from ethically sourced Cypress Macrocarpa means no chemical treatment, just durable, long-lasting timber!

Each bay is 1 cubic metre, giving plenty of flexibility to build your hot compost piles especially in shared spaces. Removable fronts and dividers make turning easy, while ventilated, lockable lids and rat-resistant features keep things running smoothly.

Compost is where the loop closes. Turning food scraps and garden waste back into healthy soil, ready to grow the next round.

Great for community gardens, schools, and anyone managing a decent amount of organic matter.

If you’re thinking about upgrading your compost setup, head to our website and get in touch.
