They're not to do with Dazza's work. In fact, he hates gardening believe it or not. He's more interested in killing fish for relaxation.

We've got a range of things including what we call rainbow chard or silverbeet, squash, zucchini, eggplant, strawberries, beetroot, and the one at the far end where Max is standing is mostly lettuce and cabbage. There are also tomato seedlings in all three at the back.

We planted them out about 6 weeks ago and are just about to start harvesting zucchini and squash, and we've already had strawberries, chard and salad greens.

About the commonality of them, not too many people have them, but they're becoming more popular because for one thing, you don't have to bend over so far for the weeding. Another for me is that it keeps the dogs off the beds (somewhat). Also, we have very sandy soil, so I needed to put a fair bit of mulch and stuff in to keep the beds damp enough and be a bit more water efficient.
