Details
Sourced from sustainable plantation grown fir, the VegTrug is a beautiful elevated garden planter that is built to last. Its easy working height of 31” means no more bending or kneeling to plant your garden, making it perfect for wheelchair users or the elderly. Optional greenhouse covers protect your plants from pests and cold weather, enabling you to extend the growing season and get more organic produce in a single season.
Assembling and Maintaining Your VegTrug
The VegTrug is very simple to assemble. Follow the assembly instructions included with your package. You can also watch a video of the VegTrug being built on this page. Once you have put it together, simply place the pre-formed liner into the VegTrug so that the top edge overlaps. Fold the liner back over the top edge of the VegTrug, and pull the drawstring to tighten the liner and hold it into place whilst filling the VegTrug with a suitable potting mix. Fill to within 1-2 inches of the top edge. Once the potting mix is in place, release the drawstring and tuck the liner down to be level with the potting mix. We recommend that you put the VegTrug in place before you fill it with potting mix, as it will become very heavy.
The VegTrug is pre-treated with a water-based vegetable safe preservative. It will fade in color when placed in direct sunlight, and should be treated on an annual basis as a minimum. Ensure that you use a vegetable safe product for treatment. As a raw material, the wood will naturally contract and expand due to the humidity and weather conditions. Movement in the material will be reduced with regular re-treatment of the product.

Questions about the VegTrug Raised Garden Planter

- From Penny at 8/26/12 5:21 PM
- What potting soil/mix do you recommend for the vegtrug?
- You can create your own soil mix by starting with your garden soil as a base. Then add peat to lighten and aerate the soil so plant roots can grow easily. In most growing regions, garden soil needs lime to balance the ph. You may want to add some compost or fertilizer to build up the nutrient level. Adding some powdered rock phosphate will also contribute to a healthy growing medium.
Another option is to buy garden soil mix for planters. You can also add some of this mix to your own soil. If you plan on growing from seed, it is advisable to use sterile potting mix in starter pots or trays, then transplant the young starters into your VegTrug planter. - Do you find this question helpful?
