Buy together and save! This set includes the VegTrug Patio Garden, the VegTrug Frame & Greenhouse Cover and the VegTrug Insect Cover.
The VegTrug Patio Garden lets you garden at an easy working height; no bending or kneeling to plant, tend and harvest. Elevated bed means no weeds and fewer pests, too. The V-shape makes efficient use of space and planting mix — grow deep-rooted plants like tomatoes in the center, shallow-rooted crops along the edges. Includes a fitted fabric liner to keep soil contained while letting excess water drain. Plastic feet protect wood from wet surfaces. Easy assembly.
The VegTrug Set includes the Vegtrug Frame & Greenhouse Cover. You can start planting earlier in spring and extend the growing season later into fall for an even bigger harvest. The easy-to-install, 21"-high steel frame installs in minutes with convenient push-fit connectors, and the reinforced polyethylene greenhouse cover has heavy-duty stitching and zippers. The cover slips snugly over the frame and attaches with strong VELCRO® brand tabs. Zips open for ventilation and easy access to crops.
The set also includes the polyethylene micro-mesh VegTrug Insect Cover to protect plants from insects, birds, harsh winds and hungry deer. To install, simply remove the greenhouse cover from the frame, and then install the insect cover in its place. Attaches with strong VELCRO® brand tabs. Zips open for ventilation and easy access to crops.

Pros
Cons
Best Uses
I think the design is very good, but the wood is very soft and cracks easily. One of the sections, that came assembled (the slatted pieces), was already falling apart. We did our best to repair it. I wonder how long it will hold up from the weight of the soil and the moisture, since the boards holding most of the weight of the soil are not very beefy. I purchased a clear deck sealer to help the soft wood withstand moisture. I painted all sides. Cedar or Redwood would increase the time this product will last. I have not requested to be compensated for a damaged product, since this is the second product we have purchased from this company that is below par and we were compensated for that product.Thanks! I suggest this company test products before selling, to avoid user dissatisfaction.

I have a second story deck next to the kitchen and have to go down stairs to my other raised beds. It will save me a lot of steps. I also bought the cover so I will have my kitchen garden all winter.
I'm excited to use this year around.

Pros
- Fun To Garden Stading Up
Cons
- Frost Cover Not Tight
Best Uses
The frost cover needs to have Velco or some kind of fastener along the edge of the Trug. When the cold wind was blowing it would flip up the edges, allowing cold air from the bottom.

Cons
Best Uses
- No Bend Gardening
- Thwarts Unwanted Critters
I have been looking forward to easier gardening, not only for the "no bending," but also for making it tougher for ground critters to munch on my veggies. The covers provided with the VEGTRUG even thwart the deer--my biggest problem.
Also, the trugs are attractive and even I (age 75) could put them together.

Cons
Best Uses
- Flower garden

I easily assembled the Veg Trug in about two hours, using the included hardware. After inserting the breathable liner, which keeps the soil from seeping through the slats, I added 400 liters (8 bags) of potting soil and watered it well. The insect cover frame was set-up very quickly.
A week ago we planted lettuce, zucchini, yellow squash, beans and basil. Lettuce and zucchini sprouts are peaking through now.
This is our first vegetable garden, so we have no long-term experience with durability of the Veg Trug.

- Preventing Back Pain
- Use In Small Space
My back and intolerance of heat and humidity had severely limited my herb and vegetable gardening, but the Veg--Trug has enabled me to do what I love. I have the larger one and it fits perfectly by my back door. I'm growing basil, parsley chives, carrots, kale, chard, mesclun, microgreens, tomatoes and marigolds. I especially like that the depth in the middle allows me to grow tomatoes and the depth around the edges is just deep enough for herbs, so the soil mix is put to best use.
