    Comments about Grow Beds:

    This grow bed was extremely easy to assemble, although it would have been preferred to not have to use a drill but I can see the necessity of doing it that way. I still love it! My herbs are growing wonderfully. Looks great in my yard, and matches perfectly with the trim and shutters on my house. Would I buy it all over again? YOU BET!

    Comments about Grow Beds:

    I have several generations of these. They are difficult to join together and 2 sets is the max for all practical purposes. Corners lose soil and the new corner braces are difficult to use. Ground must be level for them to work optimally and I usually have to reinforce the sides and/or corners with stakes

    Comments about Grow Beds:

    I have several of the 3x6 beds, and two of the 4x8 beds. I use them in a fenced-in garden bed area that had become overgrown. Before trying these beds, any newer plants added to the space were usually overtaken or lost. This way, I can add new plants to the beds, and retain some of the older, established plantings as well. The beds were also relatively easy to put together, especially compared to making beds out of wood, which I have done in the past.

    Comments about Grow Beds:

    I purchased this bed to replace a rotting wood bed. It went together well (about 15-20 mins) even with the holes that have to be drilled. Filled with dirt and planted seeds. Much easier and should be longer lasting than real wood. I have already purchased another one.

    Comments about Grow Beds:

    I have bought four of the 3x3 grow beds and one 3x6 bed to use in a partially waterlogged garden plot. The beds have solved my water drainage problems and, because of their depth, have allowed my vegetables and flowers to thrive with truly remarkable root systems. I couldn't be more pleased with the beds. Thank you.

    Comments about Grow Beds:

    I assembled these in my back yard and right away one of the corners broke. The corner slots where the pins insert are very weak and snap easily. Once they snap, there is nothing you can do to repair them. I'm still using mine but several of the corners are bulging and fall open very easily. Big disappointment. If anyone has suggestions on how to fortify the broken corners, that would be great!

    Comments about Grow Beds:

    Let me start by saying I wouldn't have a garden without the Grow Bed. For the price, I'm happy with what I got. It's a little flimsier than I thought it would be, and the extension piece was harder to attach to the Grow Bed than I thought it would be. (Thought the Grow Bed itself takes only minutes to put together.) But it's holding together well, and I have a garden! So ... I'm pretty happy.

    Comments about Grow Beds:

    I used this product to add a second tier to my 4x8 foot raised bed. I placed the 3x3 foot bed in the center and filled it with good soil. I will use this new center bed for irises and other perennials that require more quickly drained soil. The grow bed is easy to move and it also can be adjusted to create a diamond shape rather than a square. The bed is new so I don't know how it will weather and hold up in Zone 6.

    Comments about Grow Beds:

    These are just great - I have 6 of them and just got two more. They are insanely easy to put together and keep your garden plants just a little bit higher so are easier to reach for weeding, etc which is a big plus if you have a bad back like me. Soil stays nice and loose, doesn't compact so it's easy to plant in spring and weeds pull up so easy! Buy several and line them up or scatter around your garden. You can use these for perennials, too; plants winter over just fine in them.

    Comments about Grow Beds:

    We bought two 3x6 because our garden had become impossibly soggy, possibly because of a new pond next door. Filled them with a mixture of peat moss, topsoil, and composted cow manure plus a little leftover play sand. The tomato plants and snap peas took right off, as did the green beans. So we bought two more 3x6 to install this fall. My husband says they are "moderately easy" to install.

    Comments about Grow Beds:

    I bought 2 of the 3x3's and 1 of the 3x6. So far, I am thrilled as this was the MOST ECONOMICAL way to expand my vegetable garden. I had considered building from wood but when I saw the price of these, I was sold. There's no way I could have built for less. I am a bit concerned how they will "Winter-Over" in New England but it's worth the gamble. And many of my neighbors have commented on how nice they look so that's a bonus too!

    Comments about Grow Beds:

    This year I didn't get around to planting a garden, but by June I knew I couldn't totally be without one. So I ordered a 3x6 grow bed and picked up a few vegetable plants at my neighborhood nursery. By the end of July I'm already harvesting loads of cucumbers, tomatoes and a few peppers. I've made pesto from the basil and used the parsley for my meals. There are also watermelons, cabbages and a few marigolds all growing like crazy in the same little grow bed. It was super easy to set up, I just put it on top of my existing lawn, filled it with well rotted horse manure to the top and planted. The only draw back I can see is that it needs a lot of water, but then I've never had plants grow quite so exuberantly before. The extra watering required is well worth it.

    Comments about Grow Beds:

    These beds were easy for adults to assemble, but they are flimsy and the corners have covers that don't stay on. The sides bow out from the pressure of the dirt. We pounded in wooden stakes along the sides for support. I have 9 of them in our school garden. I also have 3 of the flagstone design raised beds that I ordered from you. They are terrific! Our 3 and 4 year old preschoolers were able to put them together and they are strong enough for the preschoolers to walk on top of them as a balance beam enclosing beautiful flowers and vegetables.

    Comments about Grow Beds:

    I was able to set up this raised bed in a couple of hours one morning and by afternoon (including trips to the local nursery) had it set up and planted with tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, squash and a couple of marigolds for pest control.

    Now a few weeks later the plants are thriving and I'm looking forward to some later season fresh veggies with plans to re-plant in the fall with a cool season crop.

    Comments about Grow Beds:

    I set up a 3x3 grow bed about a month ago and used it for a small vegetable garden. My seeds have sprouted well and are thriving. We've had nearly 100% humidity for the whole month, plus lots of rain and the grow bed is standing up like a champ. I've had no problems with drainage what so ever. Also, I'm using the net over the grow bed and it's been successful at keeping out the rabbit that likes to eat the nearby grass.

    Comments about Grow Beds:

    I like the fact that these beds are made from recycled materials. They are easy to assemble, but be careful when putting on the corner guards.
    They are brittle, and will crack if forced. The corner pieces are just to hide the assembly pins, and do not affect the functionality of the bed itself. I will be setting up my beds this weekend for planting my favorite vegetables, and fruits. These will definitely help with the weed control, because they are up off the ground.

    Comments about Grow Beds:

    The 3x3 Grow Bed is a great way to get started with gardening! Although I had grown tomatoes before, this is my first venture into growing other fruits and vegetables. I live in the Southwestern desert (Arizona), and the grow bed gives me the opportunity to garden with good soil. Otherwise, a garden would not be possible, since our property sits on caliche. Water is also important here in the desert, and the grow bed does a nice job of retaining the moisture. I planted my garden about a month ago, and it's doing quite well. The only "con" I noticed is that the grow bed bowed a bit once I added the soil, but that might have been because my dog got it in and dug a hole! Just trying to help plant, I guess.

    I've installed two of these raised beds in areas with very poor, compacted soil. In one case it was necessary to some digging because I was installing the raised bed into a hill. However, with the addition to good soil, I was able to grow things nicely.

    Comments about Grow Beds:

    Three summers ago I bought two 3 x 3 grow beds and they are still in good condition. There are now six in the side yard with a variety of vegetables, herbs and flowers. I just installed two in the front yard with one citrus tree in each. I also have some of the half size grow beds which I plan to put in the upper yard.
    I appreciate the fact that they are made of recycled plastic. They are very tidy and easy to maintain
    Their only drawback is that they are not as attractive as the more expensive raised beds. However, this is a problem only in the front yard and I am planting lavender, sage and other low maintenance plants around them so they won't be visable from the street.

    I wanted a small vegetable garden and had limited space. The raised bed seemed like the best answer. We have been able to plant more than expected and everything is doing well. I also like the idea that we can remove it if the need be. One thing that did surprise me is how much soil it took to fill it. However, we were able to do a great mixture of compost and planting soil so it is the best soil in my whole garden.

    Comments about Grow Beds:

    We bought one of the 4x8 two-tiered beds earlier and had been very happy with it. Then we bought two of the black 3x3 beds, which are not nearly as sturdy and, in our opinion, are not nearly the bargain the larger bed is. We assembled them and set them out and are using them, and perhaps they'll be OK; but I have a feeling they aren't going to last very many years.

    While I like these a lot (I bought 9 of them) they do have a tendency to bow outward along the long side of thebed. Some are received already bowed somewhat, and bow even more once they are filled with soil. Nevertheless, they look great and I expect will last a long time outdoors. No wood or metal parts to rot or rust. Overall, I like these and will buy more if I need to further expand my garden.

    I was inspired to expand my vegetable garden and had fully intended to build my own raised beds. However, in New England, winters are tough and buying the right lumber was way more expensive than I had budgeted. These beds are economical, easy to assemble, hold a ton of plantings and look great in my yard. Many of me neighbors have commented on their attractiveness and I have given several recommendations for this product. Finally, I think they are great for beginning gardeners as even the 3x3 gives you great volume yet is manageable.

    Comments about Grow Beds:

    The 3x3 grow-bed is very attractive, and my garden is flourishing. I was surprised and pleased that this product is made in England; I've seen these on British garden Websites. It was easy to put together, as well. I plan to purchase more for next spring--or perhaps for some winter gardening here in NC.

    Comments about Grow Beds:

    This larger bed has all the plusses of the smaller 3x3 beds: attractive and sturdy. My plants are doing beautifully. My only quibble is that when I started to put it together, I realized that I would need a drill; I'm not sure if the catalog description specified that. I had to scrounge up my ancient drill, and I could not find the correctly-sized bit for it. I did get it put together, but it took me a while by myself. However, I am pleased with the finished product. I believe in the future that I will order several 3x3 beds instead of the 3x6 bed.

    the corner and extender connectors are flimsy plastic and break easily.

    Comments about Grow Beds:

    I started out out with 2 of the 3x3 beds and have added 2 more. I've grown tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, broccoli, lettuce, carrots and several culinary herbs year-round. All have out-performed anything I've ever planted in-ground. The growing seasons are even slightly longer as the earth warms up earlier and stays warm longer in my zone 5 garden. My oldest bed frame is 4 years old and looks exactly like the one placed this spring so they are very durable. Love the fact they're made from recycled plastic. Very easy to keep weeded too!

    Comments about Grow Beds:

    I bought two of the 3x6 boxes to begin vegetable gardening. Important to note that I live in the country surrounded by aggressive deer, rabbits, gophers, squirrels, etc. that target everything I plant. I stapled deer fencing to the bottom of the boxes to discourage those that burrow and my husband engineered frames (pretty awesome) that dome each box which I have covered with netting. If this works, it will allow me to finally grow vegetables again without having to install an electric fence around a garden.

    Boxes assembled easily. At first I was disappointed that the frame was not a solid board, but when filled with soil, each appears very sturdy. This is the first year, so I have no experience with how the frames will weather the winter outside. If they do well...I may add more boxes next year.

    Comments about Grow Beds:

    This is the first time I have tried raised beds and am I ever glad I chose these grow beds! I completed the entire project myself. The beds fit together perfectly and finish nicely with the snap-on corner posts. The beds look attractive and once they were filled with soil (the hardest part) they were exactly what I was looking for...I used 1 foot square grids to grow 3 tomatoes,cucmbers, winter squash, carrots, spinach, peas, green beans, beets and green peppers. I used your Garden Planner and everything I planted is growing. I purchased 3 3x3 beds and 2 3x6 beds. I would recommend these beds to anyone interested in growing their own vegetables. I have Rheumatoid Arthritis so bending down to weed is difficult. However, with the Grow Beds, there are no weeds and I can garden sitting on a stool. What a joy to be able to grow my own vegetables again!! Thank you!

    Comments about Grow Beds:

    In our small space we created a maze-like veggie/herb garden that's easy to maintain, thanks to the various sizes offered. While I love the easy assembly, I must say that the snap-on corner covers have a tendency to pop off. Also, the sides of the 3 by 6 bed tend to bow out unless reinforced with small stakes outside. Other than that, a great product for the lazy beginner gardener!

    We needed a new bed for tomato and pepper rotation. The double grow bed was the right size at a reasonable price. It was a little more difficult to put together than I expected but still okay. It seems sturdy enough to meet our needs. The main downside is that it's ugly looking. It would be better if it were a dark green color rather than black.

    Comments about Grow Beds:

    Easy to position wherever it gets enough sun and it looks nice enough to have in the front lawn (as I do). Sides bow out slightly but that doesn't seem to cause any problems. I will probably order more next year since my front lawn is the only place on our farm that gets enough sun and adding more beds is so much easier than digging up the grass. Cutting down lots of trees for more sunlight elsewhere is not an option.

    I moved to a place where I didn't have room enough for a big garden like I used to have. I just had to have a few fresh vegetables, so I bought one of these raised beds. I am tickled pink that I have a tomato, a squash, a cucumber and green beens all growing in towers and looking good! The only thing I see is that they do bulge on the sides and the corner pieces keep coming off.

    Comments about Grow Beds:

    I like these beds, especially for the price. I bought two 2 3x3 beds with 2 extension kits. The metal rod that goes in the middle of the now 3x6 beds really helps to prevent bowing in the middle of the bed. The only caution is if you use the extension kit, make sure to have a drill bit that works well on plastic, you have to drill through two pieces of the sides to install the bolts that hold it together. Also, if you are using the extension kit, it is best to have 2 people to assemble the beds, I had a lot of difficulty doing it myself until I enlisted some help to hold the bed up and in the right position while I guided the metal rods into place from underneath it.

    Boxes 1-5 were purchased about 5+ years ago. They are still going strong. They are great for warming the soil fall, winter, spring but don't seem to overheat in the summer. I grow greens all winter in Colorado in these boxes with a self made heavy ml plastic cover (of course in the deep of winter greens stall in growth but with a little warming, they are ready to eat). New boxes 6 & 7 went in a new section. The cost may seem like a lot at first but they do seem to last!

    The only problem I encountered was the attachment of the corner pieces. They didn't go in too easily and one wouldn't go in at the bottom of the corner.

    This is a slick, fast way to get a raise garden bed if you aren't handy with tools or don't have tools. Everything you need is here and it takes just minutes to set it up. I fill my beds with "good dirt, garden soil, compost and I am ready to go without dealing with the hard ground and rocks on our area. I have had several of these grow boxes for years and they look the same as the new one I just purchased.

    Best thing to happen to a clay soil yard

    Comments about Grow Beds:

    I will have to say, if you plan on using the grow bed extension do it BEFORE you fill the 3x3. Getting the extension on after the original 3x3 has been filled is a very arduous task.

    As to the 3x3s themselves - this is the best thing to happen to our incredibly clay soil. We couldn't grow anything in it. The raised beds solved the problem. They are easy to put together (they take at least 3 full size bags of compost to fill and that can get expensive unless you make your own). Overall, this is a fantastic solution if your soil is poor. (I'll be trying soil reconditioning later but first I have to get rid of the lawn)

    Another warning - if you have bermuda grass or St. Augustine, just laying down newspaper as your first layer isn't going to cut it. I had to lay down black sheet plastic over the lawn (which, fortunately, also solarizes the lawn I want to get rid of) and then put the bed over it. One layer of newspaper over the plastic and then fill with compost.

    My strawberries, watermelon and corn love it. Here's hoping the cantaloupe, pumpkin, and other winter squash do as well. The tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, celery, lettuce, collards, brussel sprouts, bok choy, onions, carrots and cabbage are in self-made raised beds. They are also doing well but my back would have appreciated finding out about *these* raised beds sooner....I hate clay soil and Bermuda grass!

    My husband and I started a raised bed garden last year with a similar product from Gardener's Supply. We just put the grow bed together, plopped it on top of the ground filled it up with dirt and started planting. Our garden was amazing and easy!! We purchased another one at the end of the season and installed it this spring. My mom loved it so much that we got her the 3 x 3 version. She is in her 70's so the size of the box is perfect for a small garden and her needs. Love, love, love it!!!

    I have planted squash in the bed. It was easy to assemble and took about 8 cubic feet of soil to fill. I would like to get a 3 x 6 because the 3 x 3 is limited in space but the 3 x 6 doesn't come with a cover. I have had it up for a month with the cover in place. So far I haven't had any of the local varmints be able to get into the bed. This is a big success as we have many squirrels and at least one skunk taking up residence in and around our property.

    Comments about Grow Beds:

    My 7 and 4 year old sons (helped me) put the mini beds (1.5x3 ft) together - they each "own" one. The size is perfect for them to completely plant and maintain on their own. The quick growth in the beds is very rewarding for kids and the sometimes sparse watering habits of kids isn't a concern in a raised bed. After just a month the kids are talking about "harvesting" all the time! (The only thing I don't like is that the sides bow out - even with this short 3 foot bed, but it still looks good in the garden.)

Can't wait to taste them!

    Comments about Grow Beds:

    An absolute must buy! I have clay soil, and gardening is always a struggle. From the exhaustive effort of getting the garden ready in the Spring for planting, to the disappointment at the conclusion of the season when the vegetables do not grow well. With the grow beds, gardening is a breeze! The beds warm up faster for earlier planting which is an added benefit for northern gardening. I planted everything from herbs to tomatoes to beets by seed. I would say twice as much fruit/veg from planting in beds vs ground. Also more healthier plants and produce, therefore more bang for the buck!

    Comments about Grow Beds:

    I live in the city with a small courtyard. I have put up two 3x3 and one 6x3 beds. They hold many vegetable plants using intensive gardening techniques. I like the fact that don't have to have a lot of planters cluttering up my space. There is actually more room with more planting area than anything else that I have tried.

    Comments about Grow Beds:

    One of the corner cover pieces broke while snapping it on. The sides bowed out after filling with soil. I haven't planted anything in it yet - plan to plant tomatoes and vegetables.

    A little disappointed in the sturdiness. Not sure how many seasons will last.

    Comments about Grow Beds:

    I have planted both the 3' x 6' box with 18 assorted vegetable plants and the 3' x 1-1/2' box with two tomato plants. So far, everything is great! The above ground gardening eliminates weeds and, hopefully, will make harvesting easier also. It was a little difficult for me to assemble the 3' x 6' box since I had never used a drill before but with a new cordless drill and a little advice from [...] and a lot of patience from me, it turned out great! I'm looking forward to harvest-time!

    Comments about Grow Beds:

    The grow beds are very good, basic beds for getting started with a garden. The 3x6 version is particularly nice, as it gives a bit more room to play with. However, it has 2 major cons: 1) assembly of the 3x6 requires that pieces be drilled and that it be screwed together. 2) the sides bow significantly even with the reinforcement from the drilled in pieces. We eventually plan to front ours with stone.

    Otherwise, a great product. There's certainly nothing else out there that's as nice, in the same price range.

    My grandson, age 7, and I decided 3'x3' was the perfect size for our first vegetable garden together. It was easy to level in our sunny spot and held two bags of Miragro Garden Soil mixed with one bag of top soil. We planted seeds and small plants and herbs.

    Though I've not yet added soil (I have the ingredients and will mix this coming week), the assembly was very easy. I have the 3X6 and found when putting on the side plates for stability, it's easier to drill a hole, add screw and nut, then follow with the other 3, one at a time . Assembly takes approx 15 minutes. I cannot wait for frost to end!

    Comments about Grow Beds:

    I used it not exactly as instructed- our soil is dense clay with lots of mean grubs so I placed it and the dirt right on top of the thick grass and so far all the plants seem happy. The beds are on a very slight incline so the downhill sides of the beds bow out a bit. It would be nice to have a metal support like the one that comes with the extension kit.

    Comments about Grow Beds:

    For the price, this is an excellent product. Easy to assemble -- can be a one person project. Perfect for small vegetable garden or beginning gardener. Once filled with soil, the bed is very sturdy. I would have to assume that the reports of bulging sides have to be a result of overfilling the bed with too much soil. With careful filling, my beds have retained their shape nicely. I hope this product remains available for future projects and garden expansion. I'm a tough critic and I recommend it highly.

    Just bought my first one this year. It was very easy to move and assemble the parts, which is important to me because I have a very bad back. Had it "up and ready" in a very short amount of time. It will hold more soil than you think, so do the calculation which they give you on the website. I didn't and underestimated, and have to go back for more soil.

    These are fantastic. I have some of my veggies in and use the square foot gardening method.

All growing great and this is northern Indiana so last frost is not for another week. I put hardware cloth underneath and the moles cannot get my goodies.

    These grow beds are economical and a great compromise if you don't want to mess with assembling your own from timbers. They are easy to assemble and move into place. I don't know how long they will last. I like the fact that they are made from recycled plastic.

    The bed was quick and easy to assemble with a few tools. Filling it with a combination of compost, leaf mold and top soil took very little time. The transplants are thriving and for the first time in a few years lettuce and spinach seedlings are not getting eaten by ground level critters.

    Comments about Grow Beds:

    We are using these as a grouping of two 3'x6' beds, with two 3'x3' beds in the center, stacked. The middle ones (3'x'3's) have potatoes and flowers, and the two butted up on the 3' side of the longer ones (3'x6") have 25 strawberry plants each. The look nice, were easy to put together, but the longer ones bow out in the center (half way down the 6' length) from the weight of the dirt. Needs better reinforcement or some kind of middle stake.

    Comments about Grow Beds:

    We've made our own raised beds with wood previously but when we wanted to change out our garden a little, we didn't have anywhere to store the wood beds. With this grow bed if we decide to change out our garden a little, we can store the bed pieces compactly, to be used again sometime later. That's a real plus for us. Also, we are going to try the square foot gardening idea to get more produce in a smaller amount of space.

    We just installed our few pieces of simple plastic and metal rods. Well, we didn't install the joint covers, since the sides weren't pre-drilled and our cordless wasn't charged. I remember my dad's rasied beds made out of surplus aluminum shingles (didn't look any worse than this and he had to drill, too). I am not so urbanized that I need to resort to this.

    Comments about Grow Beds:

    We've never had enough sun to grow vegetables. Sadly, a few trees have died in recent years, giving us sun along a fenceline now, but the soil in that location was scant and poor - mostly fill and bedrock. The raised beds provided a great and really easy way to take advantage of the one sunny location we have. Our plants are going like gangbusters now, and we plan to increase the number of beds in the future.

    I have very little property and not a lot of sun for vegetable gardening. So I'm one of the new generation of gardeners who is using the front lawn for this purpose. Using the raised beds made the overall effect presentable and neat and contained. I purchased the 3 x 6, 3 x 3, and 1.5 x 3. I have had the 3 x 6 for approximately 3 yrs. and it still looks as good as the day I installed it. They are easy to set up and maintain and allow for carefree gardening in a small amount of space.

    I am using 3x3 parts, so feel I paid too much and didn't get the size I ordered. Several years ago I had two 4x8 raised beds from your catalog which were great (but left behind after a move) so I expected the same quality. Your catalog should state that the 3x6 grow beds are made by adding the extension and that they are not easy to put together.

    these are great for growing vertically here in texas where raised beds are often a must. the only thing i don't like is that the plastic corner pieces that you snap on chip easily rendering them useless. otherwise this is a fabulous product!!

    Comments about Grow Beds:

    We wanted a raised bed garden for our summer crop of tomatoes, but didn't want wood which would rot and potential attract pests like termites. This plastic raised bed garden is a great substitute and incredibly easy to assemble. It took less than 15 minutes to put together--much quicker than building one from wood and it should last much longer.

    To cover the odd area we have for a garden, we had to combine a couple kits and use a couple support stakes. It would be an absolutely perfect product if the parts assembled in a variety of ways instead of just the one way. Having this flexibility would improve the product design.

    Comments about Grow Beds:

    My husband and I have just set up 2 grow beds (VERY simple), filled with soil, and have planted our garden. This product is great for people who want a defined space to put good soil and soil ammendments in without having to do any tilling. Our soil is poor, so the grow beds worked well for us. We set them up as a 3'x9' growing area, and we needed to brace the sides due to the length. I have not had them long enough to rate them for their durability or weather resistance, but initial thought is that they will hold up well. The grow bed is easy enough for a beginner to do, especially if they use the Kitchen Garden planting map as a planting guide.

    I like this product because I made a growing garden out of 4 3x3 beds. It looks great and is well contained and I was able to assemble by myself and set up. I rolled out the Roc-Cloth, and set up the beds and filled with dirt and plants. They seem to do well here and stand up to the storms today. I just planted two weeks or so ago and am anxious to see how they hold up in the Texas heat.

    Comments about Grow Beds:

    I purchased this product after I read reviews about raised gardens on the internet. The assembly was quite easy and fast. I was a little nervous at first because it seemed so flimsy. The whole frame would sway back and forth. Once I filled it up with soil everything came together. It holds together fine. I was able to plant a large ammount of vegetables in the small space that it provides. All my plants seem to be happy and are growing like crazy! If I were more of a handy man, I would probably spend the same ammount of money and build my own frame from cedar. Anyone who is handyman handicapped then this product is for you.

    Comments about Grow Beds:

    I have used four of the square grow beds for three seasons and am adding two more this year. I have grown beans, peas, squash, tomatoes, carrots, radishes, lettuce, herbs, green peppers, eggplants. At first I wished beds were more attractive, but I now really appreciate that they are unobtrusive. The only "problems" are that their price has increased hugely since first introduction. Also, each takes three to four large bags of soil, depending on what you are planting, so this needs to be figured into budget. The second or third year, pests and disease will have found their way to your previously virgin garden, so be prepared. The first glorious, minimal care year does not repeat itself.

    I just installed my 4th raised bed...I need at least 2 more. Pretty soon I won't have any lawn left in the backyard (which is fine with me!). These beds are extremely easy to set up and maintain. I rotate my tomatoes, beans, melons, etc. every season and the beds only require a "freshening up" with compost (homemade, of course!). Living in California comes with watering challengesc...these beds maintain the water in the soil so well, I'm watering every 3rd day..even in the summer.

    I have had 2 of these beds for a few years now and find that it makes gardening easier. My plants are right there at my fingertips. Weeding is kept to a minimum and harvesting an abundance of produce is the best part. I have only grown squash in them so far, but this year; I am going to experiment with other vegetables like tomatoes etc. It is so easy to assemble. The only drawback is filling it with soil. I love it though. I ordered another one for this year and a 3' by 6' for more produce.

    Comments about Grow Beds:

    I will be returning this item. For a small garden, and needing to put it on concrete, this is no good.
    If that fact was noted in the advertisement, it wasn't very clear to me, or my family.
