vegepod - Raised Garden Bed - Self Watering Container Garden Kit with Protective Cover, Easily Elevated to Waist Height, 2 Years Warranty (Medium, Trolley)

Ideal for small gardens

When we purchased the Vegepod, we considered the base units available for it. Since we are getting older, we decided it would be better to have the unit raised up. The choices were a stationary platform or one with wheels. We have this on our concrete patio so it made sense to get the base with wheels. The raised bed is now at a perfect waist-high. The protective cover is also good to have since we have deer in the neighborhood and this prevents them from eating our veggies before we can. :-) The base unit itself can be a challenge putting together. As with the Vegepod, I suggest watching the videos the company has available on their website before you start. That certainly helps reduce your effort when you open the box. The base unit is solid and coated metal so it should not rust. The wheels are especially nice since you can easily move the Vegepod around to find a good, sunny spot. The unit with wheels cannot be used on grass. Once you add the soil to the Vegepod, it becomes very heavy and the wheels would sink right into the ground. All in all this is an excellent purchase!

Pain in the arse to put together ( did it on my own though ), but the materials are high quality. Should last for decades ! Also, really measure the space you want to put it in before purchasing - the entire unit becomes quite big once assembled :)

Excellent product-also bought the vegapod-love it! Planted my lettuce and tomatoes-self watering and can move the trolley to wherever I wish!

Everything I planted in there is happy and healthy. Would appreciate a more sturdy design for the sprinkler. I had to cut it free and redo it again as it twisted and didn’t spray down. Perhaps it should be incorporated into the roof beam and then a flexible hose can be attached to guide it outside the netting? One other think: Truly didn’t think it was gonna be humanly possible to get the netting stretched over top of the frame but we managed to do it. It took two of us and all of our strength.
