Farmer Phil Seedlings & Wicking Beds

Welcome to Farmer Phil Seedlings and Wicking Beds. We're Phil and Jess and our furry family - Rabbit, Charles, and Rupert.

We build and install food grade IBC wicking beds and sell quality vegetable seedlings at markets around Central Victoria, Australia.

A nice compliment to the patio close to the kitchen in the west end of Castlemaine. Making great use of a small space! Lovely pathway with great access to the beds. The beds are being filled with soil in this shot.

We love this arrangement of Farmer Phil IBC Wicking Beds for Catherine in Castlemaine. Catherine ordered 3 wicking bed kits over a period of 6 months and used her own gravel and soil and bases. Looking great Catherine!

These four Farmer Phil IBC vegetable wicking beds look great in this arrangement for lovely customers in the heart of Castlemaine. It was a beautiful day to put these in! Each wicking bed has 360L of soil to grow dozens of strong and healthy plants.

Fantastic landscaping going on in the background! This shot from a four-bed install in Castlemaine shows the wicking tubes prior to placing the geotech membrane on top and filling with soil. The inlet in the corner is the water inlet with black anti-mosquito pot on top.

Lovely view from these beds! High up in Chewton escarpment overlooking bushland to the south. We overcame limited access via a narrow entry point and a chicane pathway. Our lovely customer bought one then was so pleased she came back for two more!

This lovely customer, a volunteer at MAAWS, trained our dog, Rabbit, while Phil worked on the vegetable bed!(And boy does she need training!) This shot shows the difference in size and volume between the Biofilta bed and an IBC wicking bed. A food grade IBC wicking bed from Farmer Phil has 360L of soil to deliver more nutrients to plants and sits on a timber base making it easy to potter around standing up.

We had a group of Kangaroos watching when we put these beds in at Maldon! We like this arrangement amongst the daffodils. This lovely couple are going to add an archway between the two closest wicking beds.

Farmer Phil needed deviated septum surgery week before last but we managed to fit in 4 IBC wicking beds in Castlemaine before the op. Phil is now fully recovered and ready to go! We have 3 weeks of orders to fill so get in quick before Spring! Next on the list is Tobias, Catherine, and Rose.
