Vegepod - Medium

Happy with my vegepod. Easy enough to put together. Filled as instructed- recommend you purchase perlite or vermiculite in advance so you can fill when your pod arrives. Medium pod needed - 50l of manure, 50l or perlite and 125 of soil roughly there are instructions on the vegepod website and videos for construction. You can easily put together on your own. Very sturdy and sprinkler works incredibly well. Delivery was personal from a Vegepod rep who explained things and gave a free cold cover for long delivery time (was within time given by Amazon estimate- just took awhile due to international shipping and COVID crisis). Was a nice touch they gave the cover though and they were really responsive answering queries. Overall really pleased with the purchase. Note, quite heavy when filled but still easily rolled on wheels.

Instructions could be improved, but easy enough to assemble. Price is almost too much, I'd probably only buy another if the price came down. Very sturdy and hood keeps the squirrels out.

Very sturdy, my daughter loves it. Her vegetables have flourished so much more than perched on window sills or in gro bags. 2 people needed to put together especially the cover as it's heavy. Also bought the stand which for us was necessary. Expensive but very useful

Well thought out piece of kit Ideal for people who have problems bending for those who like grown their own vegetables etc a bit expensive but you will get your own grown vegetables and saving money and picking them fresh

I bought this as a gift and the recipient absolutely loves it. It was easy to put together and has produced some wonderful salad crops in only six weeks. The whole idea is clever. I bought the stand to raise the Vegepod off the ground and the stand is sturdy and a good height. The cover is not at all flimsy, and the watering system works really well. It’s a great unit that prevents having to bend but gives a good sized growing area with a variety of depths. It is deep enough in the centre for carrots. All the produce grown so far has been pest and bug free too. This isn’t a cheap unit, but it is well made and should last a long time.

Having moved to a smaller garden, but still wanting to grow some veg we were looking at pods and eventually came across this. It's fantastic. It sits in a corner of the patio getting the sun and no back breaking bending down to tend it. We bought the stand on wheels so we can move it about (thoroughly recommend the stand with the wheels). The instructions are so-so but log on to the video instructions and they are so funny ! Two guys in Australia giving you step by step instructions in about1 minute segments. Thoroughly recommend this produce as it looks good, the cover protects against frost and birds and it only needs watering weekly so if we go away we are not trying to get people in to water the beds! It is great

I have had a couple of these now, and they are ok, but... Quite simply: 1. Bit expensive 2. Instructions are not good enough 3. Could do with actually fixing to base rather than just sitting on it 4. Covers are a flippin nightmare to stretch over and secure to frame. 5. Myriad of plastic wingnuts and bolts - not for the person with arthritis However: 1. Actually works 2. Bigger than you realise, so plenty of room for whatever you want to grow. 3. Base frame is sturdy. 4. Easy access as a raised bed (well it is definitely more than just a raised bed for sure) 5. Contact with company is great. The staff listen and respond. Nothing is a problem. 6. I know I am gonna enjoy it PS Make sure you have enough space - with the top tipping backwards to open, it almost doubles in size, so don't put it against a fence unless you have a base with wheels

Quite expensive when the kit doesn’t include legs although the blurb leads you to believe it does by saying adjustable height. Legs are another expensive purchase apparently. Otherwise happy.

excellent ..! loved it. will add one more medium unit letar..! ❤️💯

Like great But where is the stand as shown They should provide at least the standing stand

It takes a fair while to put this thing together. The instructions are vague. Seems OK when assembled and looking forward to some fresh veggies. It is extremely overpriced.

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.

Yes, it’s worth the money! This review is just over a year after purchasing the vegepod. Here is the setup of mine: we live in Summerlin, NV where temps do get to 110-115 in the summer. The vegepod is sitting in the patio underneath the roof. It gets morning and afternoon light with shade during 12-4pm. The winter here by Red Rock canyon gets chilly in the 20’s with very very very strong winds (50-60 mph gusts). I have bungee cords wrapped around my patio post to the top of the vegepod so it will not fly away. I did get the stand without the wheels (regretting that now) and the winter cover. I see where I could have used the wheels to move it around the patio easily for more or less shade. Now that it’s extremely heavy with 9 big bags of soil, that baby isn’t going anywhere. I did also purchase a regular shade cloth because I couldn’t buy the one that fits the top at that time and I use clothe pins to snap the shade cloth during the 2 hot months here. I also purchased the $50ish 3x3 watering system hose by Garden In Minutes along with $8 timer on my faucet. This system has worked flawlessly. My work has me home every other week and my system can keep growing without me tending to it. It really was worth the investment. The plastic has not broken down at all since buying it. Most plastics do within a few months of exposure to the sun here but I do keep it in half shade most of the time. My husband thought it was ridiculous for the price and did not want it. Despite him, I got it anyways for the purpose of growing greens (spinach in particular since the prices here are California prices for food). I picked New Zealand spinach for this climate and boy was I surprised! I do have other things in it but it’s now a jungle. That’s the only gripe my husband has now which I can handle. I have swiss chard, onions, oregano, and kale along with the spinach. Lettuce was in it but bolts way too soon due to the temps in spring and fall. Carrots do wonderful in it too. I have learned tomatoes grow best here in November, December, and January under the winter cover. My kale isn’t big but produces a lot. I now have a Brussels plant in it that has taken over with the spinach. We will see what it will do. Happy gardening!
