Vegepod - Large

This is the best company to do business with. We purchased 2 large and 2 medium Vegepods and had to wait until our patio was finished before giving them their forever home. It took over a year. When we opened our box a year later we discovered that one of the large pods was damaged. We contacted Vegepod directly and they had us take a picture of broken piece so they would be sure that we were getting proper replacement. We had part in less than 5 days. Then we had problem with sprayer, which they replaced immediately. It is rare to do business with any business in the USA that practices excellent customer service. As for the Vegepod themselves, they are worth every penny, they are well made and we love them. Easy to put together and are very sturdy.

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!

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 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!

Love it nooooo bending

Picture attached is plant I removed with aphids and eggs. I planted different leaf lettuce rows, carrots and onions in the medium size Vegepod. In less than three months I’ve had great growth from my plants. However there are some issues I have with this product which is very disappointing for the price. The first problem I encountered was green moss spontaneously growing which was off putting. I quickly corrected this by sprinkling cinnamon all over the soil. The second issue I encountered were two-inch sized grasshoppers getting in through the hole that is meant for the hose. Yes the hose was feed through the hole. I “fixed” this by using duct tape to cover the exposed hole. My third issue was finding slugs and aphids on my lettuce that had grown to over a foot tall. This infestation was on the size where the hose hole was. So perhaps they were in before I taped the hole. However, the lid to the vegepod does not completely touch the base of the vegepod so it’s also probable that these insects and slugs got in from that gap as well. Also I realize aphids are supper tiny and could also fit through the mesh of the vegepod. I am disappointed since this was the reason I purchased this item, however I have had great lettuce besides these issues for the first time. I may plant other items in this vegepod in the future to see how well they do against pests. In the meantime I have pulled the plants heavily infested and continue to spray the rest of my plants with an epsom salt water mix. I will update my review in the future if there are drastic positives or negatives that come up. As for assembly, it does take a while. I had to look up how to videos on YouTube bc the directions were really no help. Very sturdy and easy to move on the rollers.

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.

A fantastic way to grow your own produce. Very easy to put together and very well made. Takes 400 + litres of compost so is well sturdy. My wife loves it and already has items growing in it days after it was put together. Tip, don’t forget to buy the stand if you want it at waist height ?

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

Very happy with vegepod. Because things ran a little late, I didn't get to plant until June24. Things are going well. Seeds sprouted quickly, live plants are thriving and kitchen scrap romaine lettuce sprouting nicely. I was thinking about building a raised bed until my hubby saw this on the news. Don't think one could replicate this for the price. Easy assembly. I discovered cover does not let water through. You need an extra clamp around hose attached to watering system. If there's too much water pressure, the hose pops off and its awkward to lean in and reattach it.

Very happy with the Vegepod. It was easy to assemble and set up (lots of useful videos on You Tube which helped). I planted only a small amount of seeds initially, mainly salad type vegetables, and they have grown really well. I hadn’t attempted to grow vegetables for years as there are too many rabbits around to make it worth the effort normally. The Vegepod gives good protection from them and also from other wildlife. The height makes for comfortable working - I got the wheeled stand which also allows for easy movement. Now I am rediscovering the enjoyment of home grown vegetables I will be growing more - will probably need second Vegepod at some stage! Customer service has been great also.

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.
