Getting beds onto the island
Everything reaches Cowes over the San Remo bridge, so if you are collecting from Wonthaggi, plan the drive and make sure your vehicle or trailer suits the panel dimensions.
This page covers Cowes itself. Nearby places such as Newhaven or Cape Woolamai are mentioned only as geography; coverage elsewhere on the island is confirmed by address.

Residents and holiday homes
Year-round Cowes residents can water often and grow summer crops freely. For holiday homes, a sealed base with wicking and deep mulch can lengthen the gap between waterings; how long depends on weather, plants and reservoir size.
Hardy herbs, perennial greens and low-maintenance plantings suit gardens that are left alone for longer stretches.

Sand, wind and salt
Where Cowes ground is sandy, water drains quickly from both soil and beds. Compost in the fill helps it hold moisture.
Island winds can be strong and salty. Use buildings, fences or hedges as shelter, and avoid open corners facing the water.

Questions
Cowes (Phillip Island) FAQs
Does this cover all of Phillip Island?
This page is for Cowes. Other island addresses need to be confirmed with GROWZA individually.
My holiday house is empty for weeks. What setup works?
Weeks without water is a lot to ask of any bed. Hardy plants, heavy mulch and a sealed base with wicking help, but a tap timer on a drip line, or a neighbour, is the dependable answer.
How do I protect plants from salt wind?
Site beds in the shelter of buildings or hedges and rinse foliage after strong onshore winds.
