  • The VegTrug™ is the winner of the 2012 Green Thumb Award for Outstanding New Product!
  • Set includes VegTrug Patio Garden, Frame and two Covers
  • Covers let you extend the growing season and protect plants from pests
  • Grow a productive vegetable garden in a small space
  • The VegTrug is built to last of solid wood, with dovetail joints and a food-safe finish
  • VIDEO: How to assemble the VegTrug

Buy together and save! This set includes the VegTrug Patio Garden, the VegTrug Frame & Greenhouse Cover and the VegTrug Insect Cover.

The VegTrug Patio Garden lets you garden at an easy working height; no bending or kneeling to plant, tend and harvest. Elevated bed means no weeds and fewer pests, too. The V-shape makes efficient use of space and planting mix — grow deep-rooted plants like tomatoes in the center, shallow-rooted crops along the edges. Includes a fitted fabric liner to keep soil contained while letting excess water drain. Plastic feet protect wood from wet surfaces. Easy assembly.

The VegTrug Set includes the Vegtrug Frame & Greenhouse Cover. You can start planting earlier in spring and extend the growing season later into fall for an even bigger harvest. The easy-to-install, 21"-high steel frame installs in minutes with convenient push-fit connectors, and the reinforced polyethylene greenhouse cover has heavy-duty stitching and zippers. The cover slips snugly over the frame and attaches with strong VELCRO® brand tabs. Zips open for ventilation and easy access to crops.

The set also includes the polyethylene micro-mesh VegTrug Insect Cover to protect plants from insects, birds, harsh winds and hungry deer. To install, simply remove the greenhouse cover from the frame, and then install the insect cover in its place. Attaches with strong VELCRO® brand tabs. Zips open for ventilation and easy access to crops.

    All I can say is it was easy to build following the site instructions. Time and weather has prevented me from using it yet.

      Comments about Vegtrug™ Patio Garden with Covers:

      I used the greenhouse cover for only a week, and noticed that a couple of the seams were tearing and that it had one small hole in a corner. I called Customer Service and they replaced my greenhouse cover in less than a week! They were wonderful to work with and I was quite satsified with the replacement cover. This vegetable trug is fun and I am enjoying my gardening time!

        Comments about Vegtrug™ Patio Garden with Covers:

        I bought two of these to put all of my herbs and berries in and they are wonderful! The covers help to keep the birds from eating my berries and the fact that they are off the grown also helps with bugs and other animals that might otherwise eat the plants. The covers allow for sunlight to get through and you can also water with the cover on. I've had it up and planted for about 3 weeks and everything is growing and sprouting and doing wonderfully. Putting them together is not too difficult. It did take me about 3 hours to do the first one and about an hour on the second one (I learned a few things from the first one). I think I could do another in 45 minutes. The key is making SURE everything is square as you progress through each step. If you don't, when you get to the final stage, you'll end up having to take part of it apart to make everything fit correctly. My best advice, WATCH THE VIDEO of how to put it together!!

        The cover frame was made of a very thin gauge metal and bent in the wind. They should make a better frame and charge a little more.

        After a bumper crop with our first VegTrug we added a second one this year. Adding the greenhouse cover provides the perfect protection in our difficult climate.

          Comments about Vegtrug™ Patio Garden with Covers:

          We have downsized and relocated to a mobile home and have a lovely 3/4 acre space, which for the first time in 20+years is fenced to keep the deer away. So we wanted to start growing our own vegetables and herbs. We are in our late 50's (husband early 60's) and wanted to start out with something that will last us and as we get older, keep us in the garden with little effort on our bodies. These trugs are fabulous!

                  As you get older it's hard to get down and dirty, but with the trug you can garden upright and still get dirty! Very well made, but definitely need two people to put it together. Looks nice in the yard!

                  We don't have much experience and quite frankly, neither my husband nor I are very good at outdoor work! We did have to level the VegTrug though, as the weight of the soil and water would have buckled the 'downhill' legs.
                  Love the height and the screen cover!! We live in area with abundant wildlife and they will eat anything not protected. So far they haven't bothered the vegetables planted there and we love the idea of having fresh vegetables right outside our back door!
