Vegepod - Small

This is a very well made raised garden bed. I ordered the small size along with the small frame. It is just the right size for growing small vegetables and leafy greens on a porch or patio. The stand is very sturdy and comes with casters. Both items were easy to assemble. I am very satisfied with these items from Vegepod.

I have had the vegepod for 3 years this is my 3rd season getting ready to grow vegetables. The first time my wife bought small vegetable plants to transplant. I purchased the pricy potting mix, mulch ect. You have to start off with the good stuff and keep it going. The plants did very well. Grew pretty fast. The second year I planted seeds. It took longer as they should but the seeds germinated and grew. We had a little storm come through and annihilated two red pepper plants. I planted 3 one survived. I grew squash, egg plant, green peppers, red peppers successfully 2 years in a row in the vegepod. Grew cucumbers the first year.I also purchased a small potable collapsible vegepod. I transplanted one of my squash plants into the collapsible vegepod. I didn't know if it will survive but it did.I know folks may have issue with the price but if it's lasting like it is then it's well worth it. Understand it offers quality material and a watering system with a dome that does a great job protecting the plants, the stand is doing a great job standing up to the weather conditions and it's very sturdy. I live in SC 30 mile from the coast and we get hurricanes and tropical storms. The vegepod, even with the dome, is able to withstand the harsh storms.One piece of advice. If your going to place it in the yard try not to set it up on the grass with out some footing. Pavers is what I recommend to keep the stand from sinking in the ground.

I received one of these VEGEPOD planters from my son and daughter-in-law last Christmas a few years ago. I have several other planters made out of wood but they do not last very many years without rotting. This VEGEPOD has lasted a few years now and not only is very sturdy but keeps my chickens out from eating my fruits & veggies. When it is very hot, I can just put to cover over it with one easy move and it keeps all of my veggies and fruits from scorching my plants from the sun. The VEGEPOD SERVICE is the very best of the best in service as well. They have attended to any questions and have delivered a part I needed instantly. I started out with one then I bought 3 more and I just bought 4 more so I can have a several varieties of fruits/veggies. I LOVE MY VEGEPODS and I would buy more BUT "8 IS ENOUGH" for now. I am as dumb as a door knob when it comes to putting things together & I was able to put these together without my husband's help, which is truly a miracle. The quality of material is thick and sturdy and I think you will LOVE one of these as well. I usually do not give reviews BUT this company is worth every bit of my time to just give a review and to thank them for making this VEGEPOD available to all of us so we too can enjoy gardening and foods that are good for us and we can control growing our own organic food in them. Try one, you will love it!

I purchased a small unit from QVC and I was super impressed with the quality of construction. There are online videos that show step by step instructions on how to assemble the raised bed and canopy. So I decided to purchase a medium sized raised bed and leg kit through Amazon. Unit arrived quickly and everything went together easily. My only issue was some important missing parts. The clips that hold the canopy are missing and the zip strips that hold the water misting tube in place are also missing. These are not critical parts but they are important. Without the canopy clips, the canopy gets blown off the garden and without the zip strips the water misting system is not functional.

I bought just the small one because we live in a mobile home and have small space. The pod was easy to assemble, the only problem I had was placing the small clips that hold the misting cover onto the pod, but a quick consult with a Youtube video and I was all set! It took two bags of garden soil from Lowes to completely fill it. Since this is Arizona, and now is not really a great growing time, I put some seeds in, they sprouted rather quickly, but have not seems to be getting any bigger, probably because of heat stress. I have high hopes for my garden pod, as soon as September hits us here in the desert. A great item, and not too heavy for us (two people in our 70s) to move it even after it was filled with soil. I will buy the tomato pod from same company next month, when I can start a tomato plant here in Tucson, AZ.

I am so happy with this, plants are growing beautifully! I got the large pod and it took a lot of soil (13 bags; 1.5 cubit ft each) and water to fill, but it is all working so well. We left it alone for a week so far with no problem, and So Cal is hot right now. If I get good at this I will be ordering another one! And the customer service from Vegepod is great; a couple of the water mister valves didn't work and they sent the replacements right away. I will say, however, that assembly is challenging if you aren't handy - be patient. Luckily, my husband is handy. I can't speak to maneuverability as ours is stationary (no wheels). A large pod with all of that dirt might stress the legs. Very happy with this product.
