We love our new Vegtrug! So easy to use. We love the fact that it's waist high. No bending down to look after the plants, so excellent for older people. definitely 5 star! Many thanks. Like our Vegi-Table planter, all the Vegtrugs 1m, 1.8m and aluminium models are wheelchair accessible. Always remember if you are working from a seated position to work sideways (over the arm rest), rather than to the front as this prevents accidental falling and less reaching is required. Vegtrug recommend changing the liner along with the soil every 3 years and they sell replacement liners. But that’s for the future it’s now time to get planting so happy growing and enjoy your healthy, fresh, organic vegetables. Who Is The Vegtrug Suitable For

Carrots do better in finer soils but the fact that they grew but were small, could be down to a few factors. The Vegtrug is a raised vegetable trough planter that sits off the ground on legs and is completely portable. It is the easy way to have your own vegetable gardenanywhere, from outdoors on patios, porches and balconies, to indoors in greenhouses, polytunnels or even in the house. Inmany ways the vegtrug is better than regular raised beds, it is a good deal taller and stands at a comfortable waistheight. Vegetables are largely protected from slugs and snails by the height of the trough, to be completely slug free try wrappingcopper strips around the legs. This will completely turn them around. The extra height also protects vulnerable vegetableseedlings from household pets. The timber used is sustainably sourced fir and is treated in vegetable gardening friendlystain to prevent rot. A membrane liner also comes with the vegtrug to offer a little extra protection.However (and I think this is my biggest bit of advice to anyone reading this), I think our basic problem was we overfilled it. A bit of self-discipline required next year – a few plants to start with, and then a gradual introduction of a few more, then a few more, then harvest first crop and re-seed / re-plant, etc… A pre-formed liner is also included with your VegTrug, which will keep your soil healthy and well aerated for optimum growing conditions. The liner for this planter, is self-draining and bio-degradable, making it environmentally friendly. The new and improved Medium 1.8m Wallhugger Greenhouse Frame and Multi Cover Set is made up of a connecting metal frame manufactured from zinc powder coated steel. You’re so right it is good to talk and never worry that you’re a bother. I enjoy talking especially about my favourite subject…Gardening.🙂

The Micromesh cover creates a barrier to exlude insects pests and birds,accurate ventilation and humidity for all conditions. The VegTrug has been designed to be easily built from the box and comes in 1m long versions as well to suit any garden orbalcony. Purpose built polycover, micromesh and fleece covers are available with frames to get the most out of your vegtruggarden planter. They help dramatically lengthen the growing season as well as offering reliable protection from pests,weather and disease. The Vegtrug makes the ideal gift idea for the vegetable gardener. We are currently unable to deliver to the following postcodes in Scotland (AB, DD,PH), Highlands, Northern Ireland and the Channel Islands Designed with ergonomics in mind, the raised and unique V-shape simultaneously allows for shallow and deep growth, a posture-saving working height and easy wheelchair access.With both a high quality PE Cover and Micromesh incorporated to fit over the top, the cover is an easy solution for protecting crops within the VegTrug throughout all seasons. Row 5 – Broccoli had a very limited crop (2 or 3 heads), rest bolted and went to seed before I could get to it. Cauli bolted and didn’t develop heads. Garden Furniture, Water Features and BBQs are likely to be delivered on a pallet, the Standard Pallet Delivery will take place within 7 – 10 working days kneeling is a bit of an issue but so is getting up afterwards and so the vegtrug opens up new possibilities for me. No more relying on family and friends to plant, water, weed, and harvest my crops because I’m not able. With the vegtrug it will all be accessible for me to do and with less slug and snail damage.
