“Brought This Starter pack 3 months ago now, so time for a review. Easy to assemble just need to take time on the frame and bars (watch the online video). Have loaded ours with Lettuce, spinach, chives, celery, snack cucumbers and small capsicum. The growing rate in the pod compared to the rest of our normal garden is amazing. items in it are growing at a much faster rate. The bonus is that there are no slugs etc in the lettuce and other plants due to the cover providing protection. Purchased a PVC cover to use when it gets colder to extend the growing season, but have not used this yet.
At first, I was deciding if I should or not due to the price, as it is more than what I would normally pay for something like this. But after using it and seeing the results I am glad I went ahead.
The only thing I would like to come with it that I just added is some protective tape for the cover where you clip it in and out to lock it down. This is to prevent wearing through the protective cover.”
“Put 90% together fairly easily thanks to the great instructions. My arthritic thumbs meant I couldn't hold the irrigation hose squeezed tight enough and pull the cable ties closed so I had to wait for a visitor to help me. I am also finding the cover difficult to open and shut. The clips are working great but my hands don't nowdays. Any suggestions as to an alternative way to keep the cover closed would be welcome. Perhaps this is something you could look at as raised gardening is fantastic for the older and less able so I am sure I am not the only one struggling.”
“Very easy to setup with assistance of Youtube videos. Plants are going great guns and extremely easy to water and maintain. Our first crop of veges should be ready within the next week so looking forward to regularly being able to supplement our gorceries and menu with home grown veges.
This certainly makes vege growing simple and good not to have to bend the back to maintain the garden.”
“The thing that surprised me the most was how long it took to assemble the whole thing - for the price this seems like a bit of a let down - why am I building this thing from scratch, I'm sure they could pre-assemble more - and I am not one to be put off by flat packs!
Works ok once you get over the tedious build bit.
The powder coating comes off very, very easily, so I don't expect the trolley to last that long.
Limited ability to grow veggies - tall veggies not possible.
Overall I think not great value for money. If I had any sort of garden instead of just a deck, I'd probably go with a raised wooden bed instead.”
“I have this as a gift to my wife for Christmas. After 2 and a half weeks we have had an amazing amount of growth and have started harvesting our spinach already! It was so easy to put together and get started I think I’ll get a couple of large ones very soon.”
“Excellent product
Easy to follow the installation instructions, items well packaged in three strong cardboard boxes. Medium starter pack is at a very good valued retail price with free delivery.
"Vegi" our vegipod is fully planted and all items growing well.”
