Comments about Grow Beds:

Great way to control weeds, keeps plants well within reach and very versatile. You can add a trellis, row cover and converts easily to different sizes and depths. I have six of these. I have stacked two for potatoes---earliest crop ever! They come apart easily for storage or to reconfigure.

Comments about Grow Beds:

used it to create raised beds in the garden. The 4' x 4' size is easy to maintain.

Comments about Grow Beds:

This made starting a vegetable garden very easy for me.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I used several of these planters for years. One was in the garden for 3 years, and two others were there for 2 years. They worked very well, and survived all sorts of weather. The problem was when I needed to move them. Attempting to take them apart was very difficult. Despite cleaning off all the dirt, it seemed that some deterioration occurred at the joints so they started to crack. I'm not sure how I will be able to put some of these beds back together again for use in the future. So, they're great as long as you don't have to dismantle them.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I plan to expand my vegetable garden by using the beds to grow in areas where I have poor soil. The beds will allow me to grow above ground. I have recommended these beds to my friends.

Comments about Grow Beds:

These grow beds go together very quickly and easily. I'm sure they will last a very long time. I think there should be some information on assembly requirements if you buy the 3 X 6 because you'll need to connect two 3 X 3s by drilling some holes and inserting screws.
A note on appearance/flimsy - referring to a characteristic I don't care for: The sides bow out when the bed is filled and in my opinion make them look crummy/flimsy.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I have two and my plans are to get two more and set these up with paths between them in a large diamond shape. Easy to handle and assemble. Can't wait until spring!

Comments about Grow Beds:

Corner locking system is flimsy. Pegs don't want to stay in lowest holes.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I used this product next to the foundation of the house to plant herbs.It is a great space saver and keeps the herbs separated from the rest of the plants because it is a raised bed. Great product. I will add more to it next year.

Comments about Grow Beds:

Having ten of the 3' x 3' beds I moved them from Massachusetts to southern Florida when I retired. Seeing how well they hold up in the hot Florida sun I decided to add two 3" x 6' beds. My growing season here (zone 10) is different but these grow beds produce the same great results

Comments about Grow Beds:

We always wanted to grow vegetables but lacked sufficient sunlight in our backyard to do so. Hurricane Ike took care of that by removing all of our trees so we decided to make lemonade from lemons and try our hand at veggies. Raised beds were the only possibility because our yard is crisscrossed with large roots from the trees we used to have. The beds went together easily and we now have 36 square feet of organic soil with banana peppers, bell peppers, bok choy, parsnips, lettuces and turnips growing or germinating. FYI, it takes 3/4 cubic yard of soil to fill two 3'X6' grow beds. Thanks to the removable hinge pins we were able to roll in the bulk of the soil with a wheelbarrow, replace the end section and finish filling the beds by shovel. The raised beds also seem to deter snails and slugs from consuming the produce. Does anyone have any hints on keeping neighborhood cats from using them as very large litterboxes???

Comments about Grow Beds:

From all of the pictures this looks like a "solid" edging for a flower bed... somewhat like at 2x10 board would be. Was quite taken aback when they arrived to find that the backside is hollow with only a few ridges to give it shape. Not a single picture of the product showed or even hinted at this

This causes it to bow out in the middle (even at only 3ft in length) and gives it a flimsy appearance.

Comments about Grow Beds:

- Easy to assemble
- grew carrots, tomatoes, peppers, squash
- the best way to garden

- would like ideas on how to add irrigation system to use during our dry summer

Comments about Grow Beds:

I have a small and a large grow bed and prefer the large one for the size of my garden area. They both work great, though would like to have a slightly deeper height available.

Comments about Grow Beds:

These bed on the whole are easy to setup and work as well as my other raised beds. Weather resistence is a major selling point. Also one person can set up a 3x3 in no time.I bought my firsr 3x6 this fall and found drilling the holes difficult and I'm skeptical that the metal u-bar will last.I have two 6x3 beds I made from 2-3x3s. Using an extension package to retrofit them means removing most of the soil and dismantling the bed. I really don' think it's cost effective. I'm working on how I can do strengthening of the sides without moving the soil around. [...]

Comments about Grow Beds:

This bed was easy and quick to assemble. My cantaloupe crop was bigger than ever. The soil stays nice and warm.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I started with just three and now have twelve. they're incredibly simple to set up and fill, and I've taken them apart and put them back together to change the overall design of the arrangment in the vegetable garden to suit changing plans and plantings. I've been contemplating raised beds for nearly thirty years and shied away because I didn't want to use treated lumber. These are a fabulous alternative. And if I decide to change or reduce their number, I can take them up and store them in the garage in very little space (not that there's much chance of that!).

Comments about Grow Beds:

We bought one of these in the spring and planted tomatoes and peppers in it. We were very pleased with the result, and bought another for next year. It is easy to assemble and carry, made weeding unnecessary, and helped the garden look trim and neat. I only wish it were less expensive, as I would then order several more.

Comments about Grow Beds:

These are great to use especially if you think you may have to move the beds later. They are easy to position. It's helpful to be able to try them out in an area to see how they look and if it's practical for them to remain there.

Comments about Grow Beds:

Read my pop up net review.

Comments about Grow Beds:

Great except for the corner pieces - three broke on installation.

Comments about Grow Beds:

Hurricane Ike demolished our trees and turned our totally shady backyard into a totally sunny yard, thereby eliminating our excuse for not growing vegetables. After looking at the alternatives we decided to invest in the grow beds. They went together easily and when filled, bowed only slightly in our hot South Texas sun. We're looking forward to possibly eating some fruits of our fall garden. The grow beds gave us a chance to live out the saying, "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade".

Comments about Grow Beds:

I ordered six beds last year for my new vegetable garden. This year I ordered another one so I can move some plants outside the fenced area. I like the design on the one I just ordered because it has the corner pegs (last year's version did not).

Comments about Grow Beds:

I am disappointed in the quality of this product, expected something more durable. Plus the assembly process was not as quick and easy either. The larger bed which is an extension of basic 3x3 requires drilling into plastic. If not careful, it is easy to snap off the plastic hinges at corners.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I will be using this product for square foot gardening. It was very easy to assemble, but one corner cover did break (this doesn't appear to affect the look or stability of the product though). I chose this product over others online, because of a few factors. Price being one of the most important. The guarantee being the second. Thirdly, the appearance. It matched my composter which is sitting nearby. The dark color will also help the soil warm up in the Spring and stay a little warmer in the Fall. I'll let these two overwinter with some garlic first and see how they hold up. If it works out well, I can see myself purchasing two more next year.

Comments about Grow Beds:

For first time gardeners with 8 year olds this grow bed is perfect. Assembly was very easy and the kids can reach everywhere.

Comments about Grow Beds:

In addition to buying a few of these grow beds, I also built a couple of equal sized beds (3 x 3) from cedar boards (to have a variety of beds in the garden that I could evaluate). Cedar is very expensive where I live, and I now wish that I had just used these grow beds instead of building any from the cedar. These are less expensive, and much easier to assemble. I also love the fact that they are made from recycled plastic.

I have not had them long enough to see how they will hold up under the intense Florida sun, but they look like they will last for years. The only minor complaint is that they bow a little when filled with soil. But they could be reinforced pretty easily I would think, so this is a minor complaint.

Comments about Grow Beds:

Great idea but the sides were not sturdy enough to hold their shape well.

Comments about Grow Beds:

Add perfect soil and you have a perfect garden. I'll probably buy another one.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I was frustrated trying to grow a garden in our clay soil. I tried building a raised bed, but it was too shallow. These beds are so easy to assemble and hold enough soil to grow any vegetable. I have 10 beds and raise enough food for me and my husband with plenty to share with family and friends.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I had such good results with the 3'x3' grow bed for my herbs, strawberries and asparagus that I wanted a bigger version! Keeps soil warm, but does not dry out easily. No problems with weeds, either.

Comments about Grow Beds:

easy to set up and use!

Comments about Grow Beds:

I am using this product for my herb garden and the size is just right.. Easy to assemble.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I bought this so that I could grow something in my suburban Texas yard. I may have to relocate it due to the sun (or lack thereof) but otherwise am very pleased.

Comments about Grow Beds:

Living in South Florida, we have a problem with raised bed made of lumber or lumber treated with wood preservative that would leak a dangerous chemical. It is an ideal solution to controlling the ph of the soil, and amendments for plant specific.

Comments about Grow Beds:

be careful assembling the corners. the little plastic notches break easily when inserting the spikes. i do like the depth of the box. this is our first year using these. i am waiting to see how they do over the winter

Comments about Grow Beds:

I like the Grow Bed very much. It was easy to assemble, and stands up well on its own, without needing to be staked into the ground. It is very sturdy, black plastic which attracts sunlight and conducts heat into the Grow Bed very well.

I ordered the 3' x 6' size, and was a little surprised that I first received a 3' x 3' bed (square), then in a second package received the extender kit to make it the 3' x 6' size. The product description did not make it clear that this is what I was ordering - I thought I was ordering a raised bed with solid pieces for the sides. Upon viewing the diagram, I can see the intersection points drawn in, but the physical description presented on the website lacks these details and could lead to some real confusion.

That being said, the extender kit assembles in line with the square bed very easily, but provides you with rectangular panels to screw into where the pieces connect to form the long sides. The idea being to add stability as well as covering the connection point (for appearance). There are no pre-drilled holes for these pieces, you are expected to drill your own holes and use the enclosed screws and nuts to secure the panels in place.

Comments about Grow Beds:

THis is the THIRD Grow Bed I have ordered this year and they are super. This is the best way to garden especially if you have limited space in your backyard. I grow all our veggies in these beds and everything grows like magic!

Comments about Grow Beds:

Perfect size for a kitchen garden right beside the house. Kids can't wait to eat the lettuce we planted. We will use it for a variety of veggies next spring and summer.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I bought 5 of these put together above garden beds to start gardening. I had so much fun planting and watching everything come to life in them! I work 7 days a week and I've always wanted a garden but they just seemed like too much work. These beds are easy to put together, easy to plant and absolutely a dream to keep up with. Buy 2 or 3 of them and connect with Mother Earth again!

Comments about Grow Beds:

I did so well with my Grow Bed (watermelon and acorn squash seeds, directly into the ground) that I have ordered another for next season.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I love these grow beds as they give a much greater yield than when I use to plant straight in the ground. They also keep the heat very well as I have tomatoes right into October and I live in the Northeast. So I would say to anyone go ahead and purchase them right now.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I put the raised bed together, myself. Well, sort of. My husband's back was bothering him, so he read me the instructions and I did the work. Hey, he usually does it all. I had no trouble putting it together and am very proud of myself. It is small enough (6X6) that I can keep it right near the house so my vegetables will get constant care. My vegetables are now planted (tomatoes and peppers) and I am looking forward to a bountiful crop!

Comments about Grow Beds:

set up and ready to go in 15 min.

good for keeping grass and weeds out of the plants

Comments about Grow Beds:

found these much easier to start my winter garden.

Comments about Grow Beds:

This is ideal for the apartment setting.

Comments about Grow Beds:

Growing herbs, vegetables and fruit is so easy with these little square raised beds.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I put 11 of the small beds along a small patio and deck of a tiny city house to create a lot of garden space. The size was perfect, but I had to create bottoms for all of the beds to hold the dirt, since they're designed to go into an existing garden.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I loved this grow bed. It was very easy to put together. It was light-weight enough for me to do alone. And if I move, I can take this garden with me. I currently have broccoli, peppers, beets and lettuce growing.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I HAVE GROWN POTATOES IN THIS FOR THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS. I ALWAYS HAVE A BUMPER CROP...ENOUGH TO FEED MY SMALL FAMILY FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. iT IS EASY TO ASSEMBLE AND VERY EASY TO HARVEST MY "CROP." i NEVER WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GROW POTATOES JUST IN MY GARDEN. tHE RAISED GROW BED MAKES IT SIMPLE AND FUN.

Comments about Grow Beds:

We used 6 mini beds to make a double layer, "L" shaped border for a patio. In the spring, we will add a trellis so we can grow a living screen for privacy.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I have lettuce growing in one now but I have not yet used them for other crops. I am assembling the others and will have them placed, filled with soil,and ready for next year! I bought 10 and planning to buy more. I have been growing in raised beds and highly recommend them. I wanted to make my own but was unable to locally find the material I wanted and specially ordering it was cost prohibitive. I think these beds are cost effective. I like the depth because it will allow for both deep feeders and root crops. You can use less soil in them with shallow roots. I wanted plastic boxes I could leave out year round. The only negative I have encountered is the boxes seem to be buckling a little in the middle of the sides when filled. As long as nothing breaks, that will not be a problem.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I had been looking for the perfect raised bed to add to my landscaping in my back yard and these were it! Perfect for up near my home, they attract the sun and my plants start earlier than anyone else on the block.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I ordered three of these in the 18" x 3' size for my daughter who wanted to plant a few vegetables but lived in a community that was very strict about outside structures. She placed these along the foundation on the sunny side of her house and planted a few things in them. The grow beds were very attractive as well as the perfect size for what she wanted to achieve. They were only 18" across allowing her to reach even the things planted at the back with ease. These are perfect for someone just starting out who wants to start small and experiment.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I live in Zone 4/5 and can't start planting until around Mother's Day. Having raised beds allows me to plant sooner. Great for a compact garden. If using intensive planting method, you will get a lot of produce in the 3 x 3 planters. I started with two planters and have kept adding each year. Well worth the investment.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I can grow a larger amount in a smaller space and less weeding.

Comments about Grow Beds:

Great value, easy to set up.

Comments about Grow Beds:

Last year I purchased four grow beds- this year I added four more! I can't believe the amount of vegetables I get from such a small space. It is easy to keep each bed filled with soil for a particular plant type, easy to use or not use pest control, weed control, or compost as needed in each bed too! My neighbors think they are wonderful and I have passed on many catalogs to them:)

Comments about Grow Beds:

These are perfect for the square foot gardener in combination with the nets that fit them.

Comments about Grow Beds:

Last year, I tried to grow tomatoes and lettuce in pots and the squirrels and rabbits destroyed everything- even with cages. This year, I used the raised beds. I put soil and compost in the bed and put in some marigolds and NOTHING was touched. Everything grew great and I plan on buying more beds to expand my garden.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I bought the 3x3 size because I could get a pop-up cover. The combination is great. The plants are protected from deer and rabbits. The netting gives a little shade.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I love the raised bed and we are enjoying our veggies very much - great for small yards.

Comments about Grow Beds:

You used to carry a similar product from the UK. I have a couple of those beds and I think they are more sturdy. I wish you would carry them again. I do however like the size of the mini beds in your current product offering, they fit perfectly under my window.

Comments about Grow Beds:

this product will be used in the early season for broccoli next year and was used for yukon golds this year. the screen cage will hopefully prevent animals from eating the broccoli before we do

Comments about Grow Beds:

The grow beds keep gardening neat and off the grass. They currently line the fence on the east side of our property. They work like a raised bed making it easy to tend to the space and keep the vegetation contained. This works as well for harvesting....you can always get to the crop!

Comments about Grow Beds:

While these aren't crazy flimsy, they are a bit flimsy. I have three beds, each with an extension kit. The kit includes a bar to keep the longer bed from bowing. The bed still bows on either side of the bar.

Comments about Grow Beds:

Prepared Grow Beds for next years growing season.
Replaced my wooden beds with Grow Beds.

Comments about Grow Beds:

The bed was easy to assemble and because it is so deep, holds a good amount of garden soil for root development and doesn't dry out too quickly. I haven't grown vegetables in many years but am getting great tomatoes from this bed. I've just got room for one more so already purchased another for next year to expand the garden

Comments about Grow Beds:

I love the fact that these are made out of recycled product and made into something very useful. I have a bad back and these raised beds are the best. I have the MOST prolific vegetable garden in over 20 years with these raised beds. My father saw how well my garden was doing and bought some for himself. He feels the same about his. It's a can't miss.

Comments about Grow Beds:

Made it possible for me to have a garden even in our mostly sand backyard. It's makes having a garden easier to maintain as well.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I just planted my 8th and 9th Grow Bed and am waiting for the seeds to sprout for fall crops. Everything else is lush and productive. The beds are easy to assemble and attractive in the landscape, since this year they included corner covers.

Comments about Grow Beds:

Need raised bed for veggies in part of my garden. The planting beds are just what I need for seasonal veggies. Easy to put togeather and looks OK. Holding the dirt well.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I have purchased about a dozen of the boxes and have filled them with good-quality potting soil. I am growing some wonderful crops for the table (artichokes, beets, onions, leeks, squash and greens) and plan to add more crops soon. My garden looks attractive, productive and impressive with the boxes and I am so pleased to have food grown at home. I'm planning to add strawberries soon to the larger size boxes and to add broccoli and cabbage to the square boxes that I haven't yet planted.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I am a differently abled gardener and the raised
beds keep me in the garden,having all the fun and
none of the backache.I am going to order two more.
I have even given them to others as gifts. My
vegetable garden is just beautiful this year.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I have a small yard and this bed makes a nice addition and a useful use of space. I purchased the extension and it seems to be working well.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I have a large yard but limited space for vegetables so this raised planter is perfect.
I can easily set them up anywhere, even among other established plantings.

The black plastic retains the warmth and moisture evenly. Seeds planted
germinated in record time and the vegetables are thriving.

I placed weed control cloth under each box and have not had to pull a single weed.

Combine this box with your square Tomato cages and have the neatest, best crop ever.

Easy to assemble, neat, compact with fresh vegetables all season.
What more could one ask ?

Comments about Grow Beds:

WE LIVE IN THE MOUNTAINS OF NC. THIS BOX IS STURDY AND IT KEEPS OUT THE MERAUDERS OF THE NIGHT...PIGS, BEARS AND RACOONS. WE HAVE NOT HAD OUR PLANTINGS TRAMPLED UPON AND FOR THAT WE ARE VERY THANKFUL FOR THIS GREAT PRODUCT.

Comments about Grow Beds:

This bed is perfect for carrots. I found that the soil gets too warm for lettuce though. You really need 2 people to assemble the 3x3 ft bed.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I used the cardboard packing boxes underneath as a weed barrier. No digging, filled with some dirt on the bottom,potting soil,peat and all purpose fertilizer. Ready to go.

Comments about Grow Beds:

Easy to put together. Good height. Saves space.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I'm using three of these raised beds near and over the old footers of a former garage. We have very heavy clay here in Maryland, and they have really helped extend the useable space in my small yard (< 0.25 acres). I agree with other reviewers that the pins are hard to install in the corners. Also, the long sides tend to bow when full of soil. A great product that could use some improvements. Thanks!

Comments about Grow Beds:

I have enjoyed the convenience of these next to my deck. However the corners connections don't seem strong enough and when full of soil, there is an outward bow to the box. I fear they may not last in our New England winter weather. I had not planned on taking them apart, nor moving them.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I used the grow bed for my asparagus - its very functional and effective.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I have a 3'x3' grow bed and have grown tomatoes and peppers for the past two years. My space is quite limited as is the amount of sun in my yard. The plants thrive in the grow bed! I just ordered another 3'x3' for next year and one for my neighbor. Thank you for a product that has made vegetable gardening such a pleasure!

Comments about Grow Beds:

This was our first raised bed and we were thrilled with the easy assembly and strength of the material. When care is taken to keep wall straight when filling, no additional support seems to be necessary.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I plan to try peppers in the grow bed. Maybe two chery tomatoes plants.or onions.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I just used the growing beds to plant a school garden.
The children had a great time helping with the assembly, filling the bed with soil and finally
adding the plants.
I am looking forward to purchasing a few more in early spring so that we can add a bigger vegetable garden.

Comments about Grow Beds:

It would be helpful if the holes for attaching extension kit were premarked. Extension assemble is awkward. Corner cover design with open slotted holes on the ends do not allow the covers to fit securely. A 12 inch version of the box would be a great improvement since your instructions are to dig up the soil before locating box.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I put some rebar stakes into the ground on all four sides to prevent bowing out.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I had to wait until mid July to get my raised bed with the extension kit, so I started my tomato , basil and hot pepper plants in containers.We transplanted the veggies on July 19 and so far, so good ! The unit appears to be sturdy enough and was very easy to set up. You need a drill for the extension kit, but you need the support. Too early to tell about weather resistant.We are definitely buying more , so that our entire garden will be a raised bed(s)

Comments about Grow Beds:

Super easy to setup, and the perfect size for a close-in kitchen garden. Definitely a good purchase.

Comments about Grow Beds:

We are currently using our 3x6 ft. grow bed to grow tomatoes, squash, and bell peppers. We love it. The garden has really taken off in just two weeks and the garden bed was a sinch to assemble. I love that the bed is made out of plastic and is easy to assemble. Also, the 3X6 ft. bed comes with a metal support rod. We are in the military and move around a lot, so we figured that we would be a good bed to disassemble and take with us when we move. Thanks! :)

Comments about Grow Beds:

I like the concept and the size, but I guess I expected the sides to be more like 2x6 composite lumber instead of hollow back

Comments about Grow Beds:

I expect good results, will install this weekend.

Comments about Grow Beds:

The Grow Beds are ideally suited for the Square Foot gardening method that I use.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I use these boxes outdoors for salad box of lettuce, mesclun, spinach and another box for snowpeas, bok choy, chard & raddichio. GREAT!

Comments about Grow Beds:

Use to grow vegetables.
A control and uniform garden.

Comments about Grow Beds:

We are using this for vegetables which are growing well. We used the appropriate soil mix, however, the sides do bulge. We hope the corner and connecting posts hold. If we try another it will probably be wood.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I used the planter to start a vegetable garden. I love the planter because it was easy to assemble and it is maintenance free. So far I have no problems with it. I plain on using it again next spring. :0)

Comments about Grow Beds:

I've used two boxes this summer and I can't believe how much produce we've gotten so far. I can't keep up! Although the boxes require lots of soil, I didn't mind the work (after the massage and shower) and now I think they are the best thing ever invented.

I'm getting two more and my Mom will be getting hers as well.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I now have several of these in my yard, mainly for vegetable gardening. I just added the 3 x 6 size, for a longer bed. One of the things I like best about these is the easy set-up. The 10-inch depth is ideal for deeper-rooted crops. I will buy again.

Comments about Grow Beds:

We use this for everbearing strawberries. The corner covers are hard to fit on, and the edges bow out from the load of the (very light) soil mix (lots of vermiculite.) I don't think I'd buy another of these, but if I did I would make sure not to fill it completely.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I have had these for about 5 years, growing some vgetables but mostly ornamental plants. These boxes are the best solution I have found for difficult areas, especially rocky soil or very shadey spots. For example, I was never able to have anything under my large maple tree, because of the dense shade and extensive roots, until I tried these raised beds. Now any shade-loving plants can be grown there with no trouble at all.
Tulips and other bulbs grow well in the boxes, and rabbits and other critters don't seem to bother them. Bunnies probably could jump into the raised bed, but fortunately they haven't figured it out so far!
P.S.
This method is a real water-saver too!

Comments about Grow Beds:

It may be a little early to write a review of our two Grow Beds, since we've only just finished filling them (they hold a LOT of dirt) and still have to transplant our veggies into them from pots.

But I can say they are exactly as described in the catalog, and seem very sturdy. They're so deep that even nice long carrots will have plenty of room to grow. but are small enough in area that it'll be easy to reach in to the center for weeding or picking.

Once we get some netting over them for protection from the groundhog that has taken up residence, and the deer, I see no reason why they won't perform as promised. We're looking forward to using them for a long time.

Comments about Grow Beds:

We are trying a vegatable garden if all goes well this year we will look at getting another one to add for next year.

Comments about Grow Beds:

The sides of the grow bed bulge out halfway between the end and the middle on the 6' side when filled with soil. I'd hoped to have nice straight raised beds, but what I have are slightly "8" shaped. Had I known I'd probably have bought corners and either wood or "plastic wood" sides.

Comments about Grow Beds:

Last summer I grew enough big juicy tomatoes for my family to eat and many more to share with friends and relatives. It was easy to construct and kept out weeds. This summer looks to be another bumper crop!

Comments about Grow Beds:

easy to set up. can be put anywhere

Comments about Grow Beds:

This garden bed is just the right height for great growing conditions. Others I have seen and used were either too short, which didn't give as much room for the roots; or they were too tall and the soil dried out quicker, resulting in more watering needed to prevent wilted plants. The single (3' square) bed was very easy to assemble. The larger (3' x 6') bed was a little more difficult since it involves extra pieces to brace the unit, but it still went together fairly easily.

Comments about Grow Beds:

We now have 12 boxes filled with herbs, fruits, vegetables & flowers. Our garden looks so neat & orderly...no weeds! Having a garden has never been so easy!

Comments about Grow Beds:

I have the beds arranged around my patio. It was much easier than digging new flower beds.

Comments about Grow Beds:

Good for my short growing season. Everything is doing well in them and best of all no weeds.

Comments about Grow Beds:

Very Easy to put together. An easy way to get my garden started. Thanks for a great product!

Comments about Grow Beds:

I had a 30 year old bed of rocks left by prior owners and could not get them ALL out. The Grow Beds were an easy fix - from rocks to veggies in one season.

Comments about Grow Beds:

This made gardening easy!

Comments about Grow Beds:

This is a good idea for beginning gardeners.

Comments about Grow Beds:

This is my first year with my own garden. I decided to use 3 - 3x6' grow beds from [...]. I read some of the reviews of this product, but it has exceeded my expectations. My plants seem to be growing faster and larger than other gardens in the same area. In particular, I can't believe how huge my jalapeno plants have grown - they are (on average) about 3' tall and about 2' across!The only negative was that one of the corner pieces for the bed broke. However, this was not an essential piece so it wasn't a big deal.

Comments about Grow Beds:

This garden bed was so easy to set up. Didn't bow from filling with soil. I grow vegetables in our very small backyard in mine grow beds. The plants grow wonderfully and with very few weeds. I would highly recommend this product to anyone.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I planted fingerling potatoes and harvested almost 17 LBS! To put that in persective, grocery stores charge $2.99 a pound for fingerling potatoes. Multiply that by 17 and that equals $51.00. This product paid for itself plus shipping twice over. I would recommend this product to anyone.

Comments about Grow Beds:

Haven't actually planted anything in it yet, but it was easy to asemble and is not an eye sore. Will be planting in it within the next 2 weeks.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I love these grow beds! They are perfect for gardening in a small yard. My only complaint is that the sides bow out a bit from the pressure of the soil inside. It would be great if they were reinforced somehow in the middle of each side. Other than that I am very happy with my purchase.

Comments about Grow Beds:

Grow beds certainly help control soil mixture, keep plants moist. These are useful. Corner caps are somewhat flimsy--be careful as you install.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I have put up 2 of these & a 3rd is still in its box. After only a couple of months, the corners are breaking apart and the dirt is starting to spill out. The plants are growing well in them but they need reinforcement at the corners. I won't buy any more.

Comments about Grow Beds:

Affordable alternative to a cedar bed. I also like the depth. Other beds I considered weren't as deep. Be aware that you need an electric drill to assemble the 3'x6' bed.

Comments about Grow Beds:

We have mostly stones, so gardening is a challenge (not to mention the late frosts), but the raised beds make it easy. I have four of them and I will add more.

Comments about Grow Beds:

i used the lasagna garden method for the soil. it was quick to get ready to plant. i have herbs in one and peppers in the other. they look so nice and the plants look healthy. makes me happy

Comments about Grow Beds:

This product provided the ability to plant Blueberries in an area that the soil acidity was too high. With the proper addition of peat moss & specialized acidic fertilizer, I was able to provide the requirements needed to assure success.

All that was required was the installation of drip irrigation

Comments about Grow Beds:

This product was an answer to my prayers.I had 10 raised beds with rotting wood that needed to be replaced.The thought of having to use wood again and ,no doubt,replace the new ones again was not a pleasant thought.
The grow beds assemble easily and have a nice depth.They look good with the crushed stone that I use for paths.

Comments about Grow Beds:

This is just season one, so I hope the raised beds are durable. They've kept my plant roots above the local flooding, were easy to put together and fill, and lend themselves very well to intensive and successive plantings. So far, I couldn't be more pleased.

Comments about Grow Beds:

This product works great when you have poor soil.Just set it up and fill with good soil and your set to go.great product.

Comments about Grow Beds:

Have Raised Grow Beds spaced in a row on the edge of our patio. Grow tomatoes, peppers, herbs, lettuce, eggplant, zuchini, etc. Garden always looks neat, easy to reach on all sides (about 15" between beds), and can grow big quantity in small area. They are great.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I purchased a grow bed for my potatoes and cantaloupe to see how they would do. My potatoes are coming up nicely (though a little "moved around" thanks to my children) and the cantaloupe would have done nicely if my boys hadn't decided to bury a deceased duckling in there instead. These beds are simple to put together and are very easy to grow in. I wish I had lined my entire raised beds with them! It would make for much easier weeding around the beds. Maybe next year......

Comments about Grow Beds:

I had hoped the system would be light enough for me to use but big enough to cultivate with ease and have room for 2 or 3 plants of several different kinds of vegetables and/or herbs. IT WORKS! I have 2 tomatoes, a yellow squash, a bell pepper and parsley and celantro. It's a bit crowded this year but I plan to add another next season and see about some beans maybe.
I am 74 years young and a little bitty lady so ease of manipulation was vital.
Thank you so much for a great product.
Sincerely, Miss Scottie

Comments about Grow Beds:

For someone with out a lot of space, these beds are fantastic. They are so easy to assemble, they are sturdy, they look nice and can really hold a lot of vegetable plants. I'm growing cabbages, broccoli, tomatoes, peppers, pumpkins, snow peas, cucumbers, basil, mini cantalopes, and squash in just 2 grow beds and everything is growing beautifully.

Comments about Grow Beds:

My yard is long,narrow and all grass, so the Grow Beds have allowed me to set up the first part of my Garden Plan - an easy, neat set of raised beds. I have tomatoes, eggplant & onions in one and the Three Sisters (corn, beans, squash) in the other. I love them so much that I'm thinking of ripping out the previous owner's old wooden long bed and replacing it with a couple of Grow Beds strung together.

Comments about Grow Beds:

These grow beds make seeding, weeding, and harvesting so much simpler than working at ground level.

Comments about Grow Beds:

The beds set up easily and quickly. I am looking forward to years of great garden vegetables!

Comments about Grow Beds:

Very easy to set up and use. Keeps the soil warm inside.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I bought 2 sets and made a 3' by 9' bed. I needed to give it some additional supports on the long sides, but it worked great.

Comments about Grow Beds:

When my arthritis made it hard to plant my tomatoes in the ground, I bought a grow bed. That was several years ago and I now have 6 of them, including the new double size. They were so simple to put together and a friend dumped the garden soil into them for me. I have a little portable garden stool so I can sit to plant, prune and pick. No kneeling. I get a much bigger harvest than I did when planting in the ground and wind up feeding the neighborhood. I use less water since it doesn't run off and even my spray fertilizer is contained inside. They have survived harsh winters without any problems and soil is warmed and ready to go in the spring. I even have some pop up greenhouses that fit neatly over the square model so I can stagger my planting without fear of a late New England frost. They certainly fit my lifestyle.

Comments about Grow Beds:

Installing the grow beds turned my messy back yard into a well organized and pretty garden instantly. It's so easy to tend the vegetables planted in them as I can reach right in to weed or pick without as much bending over.Also, the cats and chickens don't seem interested in jumping up into the beds once the plants are full size and fill up the surface.

Comments about Grow Beds:

This bed brings my plants up closer to my level...having bad knees, I can't work down at ground level.

Comments about Grow Beds:

KS had over 20 inches of rain in June. I have 3 beds growing tomatoes, beans, carrots, shallots, marigolds, chives broccoli, and dahlias. I only lost the lettuce in daily deluges of June. I am seriously impressed.

Comments about Grow Beds:

This is my first year using the grow bed. When filled with soil, the sides bow out somewhat, but apparently only to a point. I don't think it will be a problem.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I wanted to to a raised bed, due to the amount of clay in my garden area. I started my bed and then put the grow bed around it and finished filling it in. My tomatoes and peppers are very happy.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I was use to a huge garden with all the seemingly endless work that went with it. The raised bed allows a small space to produce plentiful produce! Being raised means easier maintenanace, more comfort while gardening, less watering, less weeding, less additives to the soil (organic that is :)I am truly enjoying my raised beds!

Comments about Grow Beds:

The covers that go on the corners broke immediately, cheap plastic. Otherwise the grow beds are fine.

Comments about Grow Beds:

This was back-ordered for a very long time, delaying my summer planting. However, once it came it was very easy to assemble. The black color really heats up the soil and I like the recycled content.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I used this for my container vegetable garden on my deck. Because it is bottomless, I had to line the frame with heavy plastic sheeting. The plants grew well and stayed healthy. I hope to purchase two more for next years garden.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I bought three of the Grow Beds. I placed them in the backyard in full sun. They were easy to put together. I sat them over landscaping cloth, filled them with organic soil, added organic fertilizer and planted lettuces, peppers, swiss chard, eggplant. I now have wonderful organic veggies. My lettuce is spectacular. I plan to order more Grow Beds next spring. My neighbors are very impressed with the appearance of the Beds and with my bountiful crops. The Beds were an excellent investment.

Comments about Grow Beds:

We love the raised bed. It was so easy to put together, it went up in minutes. The rabbits that live under our shed are not enjoying our lettce or yellow beans - we are. We plan on getting another one for next year!

Comments about Grow Beds:

I have bought 5 of the grow beds. They are great on the patio and in the garden. We have bell peppers,tomatoes and lettuce planted. We are enjoying our vegetables sooner that the ones planted in the garden. The beds are so easy to assemble and hold the dirt very well. I will buy more and recommend them to all my friends and family.

Comments about Grow Beds:

This product arrived with one of the corner pieces broken. I was still able to put it together. Since it is more expensive than comparable items, I was disappointed that it did not arrive in perfect condition. However, it is providing very compact space to grow a very fruitful garden. I'm hoping it will last for a couple of years.

Comments about Grow Beds:

Great for a new gardener or one with limited space.
I put down layers of newspaper directly on the lawn and filled the bed with compost. So far, so good.

It should be easy to move if necessary. We'll have to see if it is sturdy enough for multiple seasons of use.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I started with two, now I have six. I love them. Weeds are easy to control, and the plants thrive! I have tomatoes before most of my neighbors. I have two beds for tomatoes, two for lettuce and herbs, and two for assorted peppers, squash, etc. I haven't tried potatoes, but I imagine they are easy as well. When filling the grow beds, I mix 3/4 good quality top soil, 1/4 compost, and augment with the appropriate fertilizer.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I love the ease of putting these together. I did add wire mesh screen on the bottom to keep out gophers. This was a little difficult but I have had no luck with repellents.

Comments about Grow Beds:

We are using our 6 grow beds as our garden. So far they are working really well. This is the 2nd year for the first three, so we just have to see what sort of lifetime, as far as durability, they will have.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I have 4 3x3s and 4 3x6 that I purchased this year and I want more. I am growing many-many-many vegetables in my side yard and it looks great!

Comments about Grow Beds:

I really wanted to start a garden this year with the rising food and gas prices it seemed like a good investment. I recieved my beds and had all four together within twenty minutes (not bad!) They were easy to place and fill - they do require quite a bit of dirt - I planted my vegetables and away we went. I was a little nervous that nothing was going to grow - being a first time gardner and all, but we have an abundance of vegetables. A good comparison for me is my mother who bought the same vegetables from the same place as me and her tomatoes that were planted a weekbefore mine in the regular ground are not as thick, tall, or abundant as mine!! These are a great purchase!!

Comments about Grow Beds:

I am in love with my grow beds. As a 1st time gardener with no prior gardening experience, I have had nothing but success with everything I have planted inthem. I am already making plans on where the next grow beds will go in the yard when they arrive!!

Comments about Grow Beds:

I grew spinach all winter in one of these beds

Comments about Grow Beds:

This grow bed is great to start an early garden, especially with the mesh cover to keep the pests out.

Comments about Grow Beds:

We bought two of these, "planted" them next to several home-made raised beds, filled them with a mixture of compost and topsoil, and planted four tomato plants in each. These plants are now the healthiest in our garden--big, bushy, and full of fruit. The plastic sides do bulge out a bit, and the beds didn't look too attractive when we first put them in, but now that the plants have grown up, we don't even see them anymore... All in all, they've certainly worked well for us!

Comments about Grow Beds:

I'm going to configure them differently next year, and it will be so easy!

Comments about Grow Beds:

For a science project my 13 year old granddaugher helped me make compost and filled the raised bed with the results. She then planted carrots, radishes, and beets. Later I added lovage, and garlic chives. The green mesh cover, fits great and protects the plants and worms from uninvited animals.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I started with two 3x3 grow beds and liked them so much I got two more. I am expecting delivery of a 3x6 grow bed I just ordered and, now that they are on sale I plan to get another one. Help, I can't stop buying them! I got the first ones for cutting flowers, which are doing great,then thought I might like to try some tomatoes and herbs. I got three tomato plants and have been bringing in more tomatoes than we can eat. Am planning some fall crops. These are wonderful.

Comments about Grow Beds:

Very durable and will last forever!

Comments about Grow Beds:

I used one grow bed to grow potatoes last year and had good results. This year I stacked them two high. So far, the potatoes look great.

Comments about Grow Beds:

GREAT PRODUCE, ANIMALS STAY AWAY! PEFECT PRODUCT!!

Comments about Grow Beds:

I set this up in my garden. It was very easy to put together. I am using this season for my tomatoes. It is great, not only are the tomatoes growing at a great rate they are easy to weed and fertilizer. This is a great product. I would highly recommend them.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I don't have one this size. I have 3 3X3 grow beds and one 3X6 grow bed. I love them and want to get more for next year.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I love my raised bed! This was light weight enough for me to carry out into the yard ,easy for me to put together by myself. I filled with garden soil and planted. Everything is growing and next year i will be buying more of the same.

Comments about Grow Beds:

The size is perfect for the amount of available space I have. I liked it so much I bought another one after the easy set up of the first. The depth is great and I have now 5 blooming cantelope plants that are thriving in one and squash and pumpkin in the other!

Comments about Grow Beds:

I have a mixture of cantaloupe, green peppers and cucumbers, as well as some flowers. Everything is growing like crazy except the peppers.

Comments about Grow Beds:

The grow beds are great! They hold up year after year and blend in nicely with my entire garden layout. I bought one several years ago and was amazed at the quality and quanity of product 9 sq ft could produce. I now have 4 beds and have been able to reduce the sq ft I garden for the same amount of produce. These are a sure buy for anyone looking to garden in a small space or creating a garden design with raised beds.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I ordered 2 3x3 sets thinking I would make two garden spaces but I put them together and made a perfect garden space for my bell peppers, tomatoes and cucumbers. I plan on getting more.
I love Gardener's Supply Company!!!!!!

Comments about Grow Beds:

These grow beds are great. I bought two this year in place of growing tomatos in pots. The response from the plants has been amazing. Tomatos are growing extremely well. The grow beds are easy to set up but since I have had them only one growing season, the verdict on durability is still out. The plastic could be a little sturdier as the sides bow out after soil is added and watered. Overall I am pleased with them and hoping for a bumper crop of tomatos and peppers this year.

Comments about Grow Beds:

i have an ill husband and he was able to make a lettuce garden right outside our porch door. it is growing most beautiful lettuce, parsley, oregano. we rotated lettuce plants with seeds and have constant suppy lettuce. no weeding and easy watering. no animals eating the lettuce. easy to cover with a net for protection. i love it. we have salad galore. thanks

Comments about Grow Beds:

Can't wait to plant it in the fall!

Comments about Grow Beds:

I really like this Grow Bed. It keeps the soil warm and I have already had two crops of greens and lettuces this summer. It is easy to use and helps me to conserve water in a drought situation. I love it.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I have a steep impacted dirt hillside where I wanted my vegetable garden (out of the way and plenty of sun). I hooked 2 grow beds together to get 3 ft x 9 ft beds (27 sq feet versus 18 sq feet with two 3 x 3 ft beds). I basically placed them on the hill and then dug down along one long side (with a light-weight rototiller) to make them sit level. I did put a row of concrete masonary blocks along the lower side for stability and sitting. This was my easy way to make terraces (the top side of grow bed half buried and the bottom side abutted by the blocks) I tilled in lots of amendments to make a tilthy soil that would hold the moisture with slow drip irritation(so it would not flow down the hill). I made 4 of these and they work very well for me.

Comments about Grow Beds:

This year's beds have corner covers that last year's did not, which makes them more attractive. I now have seven beds with lush vegetables growing.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I've always been an "in the ground" planter. And have been interested in raised beds but didn't want to mess with the wood, cutting it, etc. I absolutely love these beds. I originally ordered 2 (18" by 3' & 3'x6') and immediately set them up. They were very easy to assemble. I just ordered 3 more and will completely revamp my veggie garden this fall using only these raised beds. I am amazed at how much better my "hot" veggies are growing. The veggies in the raised beds are far ahead in size than the veggies still "in the ground".

Comments about Grow Beds:

I used this small garden next to porch to protect plants from wind. I can just remove dirt and put somewhere else next year. Great way to decide where to put a garden without making any big commitment of digging up ground.

Comments about Grow Beds:

This is my first attempt at a "real" garden. . .I took a chance and ordered the raised bed. . .we snapped it together, bought some dirt and put in some seeds and plants - you should see it now! It's filled with plants and yummy veggies.

Comments about Grow Beds:

Easy to use and gives the kids their own "spaces" to use as they wish.

Comments about Grow Beds:

Easy to use.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I bought this as a gift for a friend who has a very busy life. She loves to have fresh tomatoes but didn't have time to garden. She loved this and it was easy enough for her to put together and use all by herself without hiring help. Now she can have fresh tomatoes without spending too much time gardening. This is a great product and well worth the price.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I had set up my Grow Beds in the backyard last year but my vegetables did not get enough sunshine. The beds were incredibly easy to move to the front yard this year. Also the beds held up to freezing northeast weather without a mark. I could not have been happier and have recommended the grow beds to family and friends.

Comments about Grow Beds:

My tomato plants are triving ever since planting them in this raised bed. I should have a record crop and all right next to my patio.

Comments about Grow Beds:

Sides bow; corner pieces broke easily and don't sit properly to cover joints

Comments about Grow Beds:

These are the best raised beds I have used. I like the higher sides, the ease of assembling them and the way my vegetables grow in it. I ordered one last season and another this season, I would really like to have one of the newer larger sizes as well. I have to garden in a partially shaded area, so I have to take advantage of every bit of sun I can get, the black plastic really helps me out with that task!

Comments about Grow Beds:

We have used these grow boxes for years and always have nice crops and they are easy to weed if some weeds happened to get in them. One cool thing is if your soil is loose compost the gophers can't maintain tunnels so they can't come up through to eat your carrots etc. But they are also conservative with water and reusable plastic for years, in fact we bought our first three about ten years ago and they look as good as the new ones we bought this year. They do not deteriorate or turn brittle and we have 21 below zero weather as well as three digit hot summers.

Comments about Grow Beds:

The bed was easy to assemble and so far my tomatoes are growing like weeds with the added warmth added to the soil from the black sides of the bed.

Comments about Grow Beds:

This year we are using it to grow Yukon Gold potatoes. It has a spacious holding capacity, yet fits in the area where we had wanted a potato bed that was contained.

Comments about Grow Beds:

WOnderful size and easy to keep track of what is growing where

Comments about Grow Beds:

Very easy to set up and with net tops, there is no critter damage. Also crop rotation is easier. The black plastic sides heat the ground and give a head start. With wire mesh beneath the raised beds, I have secured the crops from all rodents.

Comments about Grow Beds:

We use them on macadam driveway, in space between trailer and house, for summer vegetables. Simply line them with landscape fabric, fill them and grow. Amazing results.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I have most of my garden arranged in 3x3 foot beds but didn't have any raised beds before purchasing two grow beds last year. I was thrilled with how easily they assembled, and also that they were made from recycled plastic. I planted potatoes in one and peppers in the other and have experienced great success with the plants so far! I would like to get several more grow beds next year, and would recommend this product to anyone!

Comments about Grow Beds:

I purchased the raised beds for vegetable gardening. It takes more than one person to assemble the bed which I wasn't expecting. I really like the material they are made of - holds moisture well and is very weather resistant. They are also attractive in my garden. I have recommended this product to several people.

Comments about Grow Beds:

It is working pretty well, i am using it to grow vegetables from seed. However it is cracking already in a couple of places, and the plastic is pretty brittle, I had hoped to get more than one season out of it, and I doubt I will. Not so good for the price and hype.

Comments about Grow Beds:

Can't believe how well vegetables are growing in it.

Comments about Grow Beds:

The grow beds are so easy to install. The use of recycled materials to manufacture the Grow Beds was the main reason I purchased this product!

Comments about Grow Beds:

I am using this product to start a vegetable garden to grow basics such as tomatoes, peppers etc. The product was easy to set up and allows me to expand my garden next season.

Comments about Grow Beds:

This makes veggie gardening in central Florida on the barrier island possible, even easy.

Comments about Grow Beds:

simple and understated. what I need at the moment.
I just discovered raised bed gardening. Gardening
"303"?

Comments about Grow Beds:

I planted two pepper plants, bush beans and yellow beans, beets, and snap peas. It looks a little crowded but everything is growing well.

Comments about Grow Beds:

No need to weeding.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I bought the 3'x6' grow bed. I found it very easy to assemble. The raised bed design solved several problems for me - I could easily place hardware cloth underneath to keep out gophers and moles without excavating hard clay soil; it was easy to "fence" with deer fencing to discourage rabbits, squirrels and birds from feeding on the seeds and small plants; it's easy to weed and water. Best of all it provides a protected small garden area in one of the few spots where I have fairly long sun exposure that is not already being used as a play area. So far the Grow Bed has met and exceeded all my expectations.

Comments about Grow Beds:

In Austin we have lots of rocks and not an abundance of top soil. Digging for a vegetable garden is very difficult. This design for an above the ground bed worked GREAT! We now have 5 of these beds and have grown tomatoes, okra, green beans, strawberries, peppers, and onions. The ease of installation was a definite plus.

Comments about Grow Beds:

Non-deteriorating and less expensive than wood, these grow beds have helped me grow tremendous, healthy, nearly weed-free crops of veggies where my previous beds were always rocky, clay-based, and weed-infested (no matter how much compost I used). Tip: if you live in a bad soil area, place a tarp on the bottom of the bed, then fill with clean top soil and compost. The black plastic is not as nice looking as wood, but recycled plastic is nice for the Earth. Better supports are needed to stop buckling where two lengths are joined to make longer beds.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I ordered two, and plan to order at least two more!

Comments about Grow Beds:

I purchased this grow bed for buttercup squash this year- they are doing really well despite the cold damp spring we had- the black plastic material keeps the sun's warmth in and is boosting the plants growth, what a great invention!

Comments about Grow Beds:

Excellent for gardens or flowerbeds.
