  Big W has a cheap one this week. Just be sure that you don't buy one with the rubber top like the Birdies - they snap off and conceal very sharp edges. Garden express (online) does some too though not so cheap. Aldi will do it again next Spring - its an annual thing.

  This week's catalogue page 36

  Hills, galvanised steel, $68, similar colour, slightly different steel and generally very good quality.

  Aldi ones have withstood a fair bit of sun and have been good too.

  Take a look at next week's Aldi catalogue. They're doing a wooden one for around $40.

  Most "soil" is poor quality these days. You could buy in bulk from ANL. I'm not really a fan of their product though, it often comes with fabric and balloons and other stuff in it, even though its been composted.

  Instead of that you could follow Esther Dean's "no dig" method. Google it or go to the Gardening Australia website. You use manures, straw, lucerne, blood and bone, lime and compost instead of soil to give a really fertile growing media that veggies love. Generally avoid "composted" manures,and try Big W or your local nursery for good quality. (I definitely don't recommend Aldi here). You may need to become good friends with your nurseryman and speak to a horticulturist. Also if you are near a produce store they may have some of the above supplies.

  This is one area that you can't buy cheaply unless you want poor quality and then the plants will struggle to survive. Tim's Garden Centre has a website with lots of info. Don't forget lots of organic matter - gardening is rarely cheap but it is rewarding and great fun!

  Made my own last week out of besser blocks. That way you can make it whatever shape and size you need. The holes in the bricks make great spots to place herbs, strawberries, lettuce etc. Should be able to buy the big ones (390x190x190) for about $2.20 a block.

  The Aldi garden bed is on sale again next week, around $40 and they say it is $10 cheaper than last year.
