Growing fresh food in my garden

My mom has always grown her own veges & she is 95! I decided I was going to do that, but have had limited success as the soil is so hard. Then, I had to keep the cats out! I decided to buy this size to put near my shed. The terracotta color is beautiful and complements my nearby ADU. The solar light is surprisingly bright. At 2 feet wide it fits perfectly between the stepping stones and the concrete wall! I was so excited to start. I am layering the soil components now. I have to get some soil products, and then I will put the drip irrigation on top. I will use this planter for greens mostly as they are easy to grow. Last season, my greens did not bolt until September as in the summer they were shaded a little by the wall.

What a great addition

I love these cute little beds. I got them to keep herbs closer to the house for ease of access. They are very cute sitting in front of their bigger cousins. I bought an extra one for my mom for Mothership Day because I knew she would fall in love as soon as she saw it.

Great Garden Beds - But Expensive

The garden beds are pretty good - sturdy and easy to assemble, but it is time consuming and you will have sore fingers from all the bolts and nuts. I gave five stars because the quality looks and feels great. I will be buying a few more in the near future. I love that you can mix and match size/shapes/designs as well. Also, don't recall the instructions saying if there was a specific side the bolt does in, i. e. inside or outside. I chose to have the nuts on the outside for a industrial type look but found the tension rods require the bolt head to be on the outside. The one thing I didn't love is the color. I bought the sunlit oak or basically the yellow one. On the web page it looks bright yellow which I thought would look great against my dark blue house. I couldn't see the woodgrain pattern online-maybe not paying attention and I didn't read that the description said it was a wood grain pattern. Not fond of the color at all but I bought to many to return as well as I waited so long to open and assemble them, thus, I'll have to make due with the color. I think a bright yellow would have been much prettier. It doesn't affect the quality of the bed, however.

I absolutely love my newest addition. We also added a 2feet extension kid for this. Love that I can customize my beds as well.

Awesomeness

We have a traditional garden. The area we work has good soil but the rest of our yard is red clay. We wanted to expand so I began watching some of my favorite you tubers and we decided on vego. This was the 1st of 2 I ordered. We delayed set up til fall due to life, but set up was last weekend and Wow!! Talk about impressed. We love it so much!!! Well made, designed, constructed, easy set up, we'll be able to grow so much food over the decade's to come. If I can talk my husband into more expansion I'll definitely buy more.

Great purchase

Arrived quickly. High quality. Really easy assembly. Definitely excited to have a garden bed that's low maintenance and will last longer than the wood ones we had in the past.

Vego products are awesome!

Vego above ground planters are the best gardening investment I have ever made! I absolutely love my Vego planters. They are constructed well and are very sturdy. They were packaged well to protect the product. Texas A&M helped with the quality control of these planters making sure the paint and materials used are safe and nontoxic.

Beautiful & Amazing Quality

I have had two 17- 6 in 1 in Sunlit Oak (yellow) for a couple of weeks. The yellow is vivid and has a slight wood grain design as if it is real "oak." They arrived within a week. They are compact boxes, so I was able to build them quickly. They fit a lot of soil and a lot of plants. I have them configured in the 6ft length size. I did not buy add-ons. The beds look really beautiful. The quality is evident as you build them. They are coated, so rust should not be an issue. I want to add a second color to the set. I have crowded my greens to get the most out of the space. It fits at least a dozen plants and way more if they are smaller plants or if you don't mind slight crowding. I see it as "companion" gardening. I'd recommend it for both quality and aesthetics.

Good Raised Bed

Overall I like this raised bed. It is sturdy once fully assembled. Expect it to take more time to assemble than what Vego Garden estimates. Each panel has plastic on both sides that needs to be removed and it can be tricky to peel it off. Not sure why it's there since the some of the panels arrived scratched despite the plastic.

Easy to put together and

Easy to put together and fits perfectly in a small yard. Height is great for maintaining and harvesting tomato plants and cucumbers.

Perfect

I love this raised bed! I used this smaller size for a pollinator garden and it is perfect! Vego raised beds are very sturdy and easy to put together ❤️.

Love these beds

Love my Vego raised beds! I wasn’t sure about the raised bed gardens. I’ve always had a regular flat garden. Gave the U shaped raised bed a try this year and have since bought 2 of the round beds for next year. My plants are bigger, happier and have produced so much this year! I’m so glad I gave it a try.

Fruit and Vegetables

We added 2 fruit trees to our 6 bed large Vego planters for our vegetables. The matching smaller square are beautiful and add so much to the garden m.

Great, good looking, and seems to be high quality! Assembly is honestly such a pain though! Definitely doesn’t take 40 mins like it says on the box—more like 90 with two people! Highly recommend putting the wall pieces together indoors or somewhere comfortable and very flat and then just doing the final assembly outside where you want to place them. Edges are sharp so wear gloves! It’s probably not worth paying more for more modular options, once you finally put it together you’re unlikely to ever want to take it apart again!

Very Attractive Garden Beds

My first time using metal garden beds. These are very attractive and well made with eco friendly finishes. Easy to assemble. Just the right height (17 inches) so not a lot of bending over. I am very impressed and happy with my choice at this point, but I just got them into use so will see how they hold up for next year.

Excellent Quality and Style

I'm so in love with the style and quality of the Vego Garden beds for our youth garden progam. We got the Sky blue color and it looks great. Pollinators are already visiting them and we haven't even filled them yet.

Vego Gardening Beds to the rescue!

When I almost gave up gardening because of cronic back issues, my family gifted me 5 of the tall 32" Vego garden beds with an arch. They knew how much joy and peace gardening brings me. I absolutely LOVE my Vego garden beds! With the addition of more color options, I have begun adding to my collection. I recently purchased my first 17" Vego garden bed in SunOak to fit into an existing planted area for added height and dimension. The new color is so beautiful! Way to go Vego! I also added the solar lights for a beautiful glow in my garden during evenings. I definitely plan to add more Vego garden beds to my property. I can't recommend Vego products enough!

Great Products and Excellent Customer Service

The Vego Garden raised beds were quick and easy to assemble and install in our vegetable garden. We purchased six of the 17” 6-1 modular raised bed kits. We had previously used rough-sawn hemlock to build our beds but it rotted out after just a few years and required continuous work to rebuild and maintain. The Vego Garden beds are the perfect replacement because they will last for many years, and now we can focus all of our attention on gardening.

Great quality-but not made in US?

Excellent quality and very easy to assemble. Saw on the box they are actually made in China?! I thought they were made in Texas. That's disappointing, and I wish I'd have noticed this before I bought 5 of them.

I did a ton of research on raised beds before choosing this one and I am very happy with it! I was able to put it together by myself and, while it did not take me 25 minutes like the box says (more like 45 or so), it was not difficult at all. The instructions are GREAT, very easy to follow and the images are helpful. It was also nice to have a few extra pieces in case some got lost. I also liked the easy to apply black tubing for the top to prevent getting scratched. The one thing I was not really anticipating was just how much dirt it was going to take to fill this! I'd say I put 10 bags between 1.5-2 cubic ft. each in and there is still more room at the top. Currently using for peppers, carrots and a few smaller tomato varieties, but may also experiment with flowers next year. Love the green color and so far, I feel like this was well worth the money!
