Product Information

If you’ve been following my posts for a while you’ll probably be aware that I had a brain bleed a few years ago. What I haven’t told you is last year I had a quintuple heart by-pass and it’s left me very weak. I can’t manage my allotment so my son set me up a vegtrug and here’s my vegtrug planting guide. Well done with the lettuce too! It’s time now to start planning your Autumn veggies and lettuce and radishes are ideal to sow now. You can also start some carrots as they take around 12-15 weeks to develop so that’s another option.

Due to weight on our vehicle there is a limit on the quantity of aggregates and growing media that can be delivered at any one time. The 1.8m VegTrug is manufactured from 100% FSC certified cedar wood that is treated with a water-based preservative, making it suitable for growing edible produce outside in all seasons.A pre- formed liner is included, this will aid in keeping the soil healthy and well-aerated to provide optimum growing conditions. The VegTrug was designed to bring grow-your-own to everyone, whether you have a garden or not. Small spaces, balconies and courtyards are all perfect places for the Classic (though the Wall Hugger goes even smaller!) Over filling can cause problems for sure as can too much water (or too little) and also growing the wrong combinations can be problematic although that doesn’t seem to be the case in your vegtrug. A pre-formed liner is also included with your VegTrug, which will keep your soil healthy and well aerated for optimum growing conditions. The liner for this planter, is self-draining and bio-degradable, making it environmentally friendly.
