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.

Comments about Vegtrug™ Patio Garden with Covers:
Enjoying the VegTrug, one frustration is there wasn't enough instruction on how you need to put something (we used clay pots)in the bottom so not to use so much dirt and have good drainage. As well as very little instruction on how to put in the liner. Disappointed in the covers do not vent so it's either sana effect and too hot or all air and no protection at all. Venting could be better. Thank you Gardeners Supply Co.

Comments about Vegtrug™ Patio Garden with Covers:
Each trug takes 6 2 cu ft bags of Miracle Grow Soil. This is a bit heavy to lift, but, you are not going to put this into the trug every year.
I have herbs, a container tomato plant, strawberries, peppers, onions, radishes, and much more in there. I could still have planted more.

The veg trug eliminates the kneeling or bending to plant, weed or harvest. The plants are happy and so am I . It also eliminates the critters snacking on the veggies. The cover protected the young plants during a recent late frost.

Comments about Vegtrug™ Patio Garden with Covers:
I purchased two Vegtrugs w/covers this season. They are planted with lettuces, spinach, tomatoes and peppers, beets, two types of radishes. Everything is growing and looks great. I had them assembled and placed on flagstone platforms. I plan to experiment with late season lettuce planting using the frost covers. So far, they are fun!

Comments about Vegtrug™ Patio Garden with Covers:
I bought 2 of these gardens to use in addition to my traditional garden. I transplanted broccoli into one and started 3 kinds of lettuce and spinach in the other from seed. The covers keep bugs out yet let me water and easily get access to the plants. I am hoping to use both of the gardens in not only spring and summer but fall and winter as well.
Wonderful product!
