Broadcast: 12th September 2015

Growing fresh, healthy herbs and veggies at home is a highly rewarding and incredibly enjoyable past time. But not everyone has a suitable garden space or the physical capacity to work at ground level to build and maintain a veggie patch, which has lead to the popularity of raised beds.

• Many prefabricated raised garden beds are pre-constructed, making them bulky and difficult to move into location, especially where access is an issue, the Vegtrug on the other hand is flat packed, light and easy to move.
• Everything you need to build the Vegtrug is the box, the only tool you'll need is a screwdriver. The timber is sustainably grown Fir which has been pressured and not chemically treated to last for years. They're easy enough to put together and even come with a custom fitted membrane liner that will allow for drainage but keep your valuable soil in place.
• A great advantage of a raised bed is that it allows you to control the soil quality your plants are growing in. The quality and health giving benefits of your produce are a direct reflection of the soil in which they are grown, so if you want healthy veggies you must have healthy soil!
• Another positive with raised beds is working height, not everyone wants to or is able to get down to ground level to tend to their veggies, the Vegtrug is at an ideal height for those confined to wheelchairs or with mobility issues.
• The Vegtrug deals with pests by simply excluding them from the growing area. An easy to add on framed mesh cover will keep your produce pest free without the addition of nasty chemicals.
• These smart looking units can be moved around to ensure a perfect growing environment, sunnier location in winter, more protected during the summer and this will allow you to grow a wider range of produce over a longer growing period.
• The Vegtrug is a great option for keen veggie growers, novice and experts alike. They arere easy to transport, easy to build and best of all easy to use. Vegtrug is a strange name but a great product, available at your local Waldecks store.
