"I purchased this to use at my 94 year old mom's condo. She loves when I plant flower boxes for her, but she has a hard time keeping the boxes watered due to her age and being unable to lift anything cumbersome. So, I planted her favorite flowers in the self-watering raised garden bed and she's thrilled!! Now instead of having to water her flowers every day, she can skip a couple of days."

There is enough area in the VegTrug planter to grow up to 30 salads and vegetables at a time on the patio or in the yard. To protect your crops from cold and pests, you may simply connect netting and fleece to the fittings.

When you are tending to your garden, it’s extra tall 32″ height saves bending and strain on your back, as well as provides enough room for healthy roots. Corrosion-resistant metal can withstand the weather for decades, but when the time comes to replace it, the metal may be recycled completely to save money.

"Just what I wanted. Love the olive green color. Good assembly instruction and easy to put together. I'm a beginner and looking forward to planting some vegetables and herbs in the next couple of weeks (after any possibility of frost). Love the higher height. Thanks for the info on filling it!"
