Today's product review is Vegepod a raised gardening kit. Check out the pros and cons I've experienced with this product.
- Location You must decide on a permanent location because this large size can't be moved once filled with soil.
- Irrigation: Keep in mind the planter must be placed close to the water source!
- Sunlight Consider The hours your planter will receive for good growth
- Stock up on a good soil
The string popped a few times and had to be fixed
Out here you use what you have on hand and for about a month I used clothespins to help hold the clip with the line attached to the cover. That was a failure in the end. Hey, you do what you have to!
My Thoughts
- Take the time to find the best location for your planter. I placed it in a spot far from the water source. Thankfully it hit me, "Dolly, you must be closer to the water source". We moved it before adding soil and although not in the perfect location now it works. We live in a very windy area that can't be avoided entirely in our location.
- The Protective Polyethylene Knitted Mesh Cover does promote warmth with temperature control and allows water and air to penetrate.
- Irrigation The Misting System, I really like it! It works great and fast. Watch and don't leave it on for a long time.
- I love the self-watering wicking sections below the planters! Excellent idea and time/back-saving process! It waters the plants from below and allows for weeks without watering. That in itself is worth its weight in gold!
- Did You Know? The water that drains below the vegepod when the reservoirs are full can be used or recycled in other ways? No use wasting it we might as well use it! Here
*Personal note from me, 'The Strawberry Lady', when growing strawberry plants only mist above when needed. Give enough daylight/sunlight to dry the leaves to prevent disease. You'll have a safe from predators and a bountiful strawberry crop in no time.
- This grower has served me well with transplanting tiny seedlings from inside to outdoors. I've been very impressed with the growth of each plant in this protective environment! The plants have been in this temporary location for a short time and that's a great thing! Fast production, growth, and great root systems in record time!
