Garden beds in Drouin
Drouin has grown fast alongside Warragul, and many newer streets are estates on gently rolling ground. Many households are setting up their first garden, often on a yard that was earthworks not long ago.

Starting from a new yard
In newer Drouin estates, plan bed positions early so paths, a shed and a washing line fit around them.
Peg out the footprint and live with it for a week. It is easier to move string than a filled bed.
02 · Drouin
Compaction and heavier ground
Some lots have compacted or clay-heavy subsoil near the surface after construction. A spade test and a drainage test after rain will tell you more than any general rule.
Where drainage is slow, use the highest part of the yard, and deal with any ponding before installing.

Cold mornings
Drouin can get frosty on clear winter mornings, especially in low areas. Avoid hollows where cold air settles.
Plan tender summer crops for after frost risk passes, and use frost cloth on clear nights in spring.

Questions
Drouin FAQs
When should I plant summer crops in Drouin?
Once local frost risk has passed; watch forecasts rather than the calendar.
Is my new-estate soil usable?
Test your own spot. Many growers fill raised beds with purchased mix anyway, so the bed does not depend on it.
Where should the bed go on a sloping lot?
On a levelled area that is not in a hollow and drains after rain.
