I love my large vegepod. I wanted to grow my own vegetables herbs etc in my backyard but wanted something enviromentally friendly and visually appealing. The vegepod is excellent for my needs and backyard. It does take some time putting it all together especially on my own but it was totally worth it. I have had a couple of casualites with seedlings planted but most plants such as lettuce,chilli plants and others are thriving. I think it was still a bit cold when first planted so had a couple that perished. I cannot wait until I can harvest my first crop.
