At almost 1 metre tall this really is a raised vegetable garden! The 'Vegtrug' raised garden takes the hard work out of vegetable growing. We absolutely love them! They are perfect outside the back door for herbs and salad: when you need a few crunchy leaves or fresh aromatic herbs just pop out and grab a handful.
It's one of the tallest raised beds and is perfect for people with back problems and is wheelchair accessible. You can even grow deeper rooted crops like parsnips, carrots and potatoes along the centre of the bed thanks to it's clever 'v' shape design.
Vegetables are largely protected from slugs and snails by the height of the trough (to be completely slug free try wrapping copper strips around the legs).
The extra height also protects vulnerable vegetable seedlings from household pets. The timber used is sustainably sourced fir and is treated with gardening-friendly stain to prevent rot. A membrane liner also comes with the vegtrug to offer a little extra protection.
The VegTrug has been designed to be easily built from the box. It comes in 1m long versions as well, to suit any garden or balcony.
Purpose built polycover, micromesh and fleece covers are available with frames to get the most out of your vegtrug garden planter. They help dramatically lengthen the growing season as well as offering reliable protection from pests, weather and disease.
The Vegtrug makes the ideal gift idea for the vegetable gardener.
Wheelchair Accessible
Like our Vegi-Table planter, all the Vegtrugs 1m, 1.8m and aluminium models are wheelchair accessible. Always remember if you are working from a seated position to work sideways (over the arm rest), rather than to the front as this prevents accidental falling and less reaching is required.
Choose Colour
We stock these Vegtrugs in two different colours: Natural Timber, and Grey Wash. You can choose using the 'Colour' Tab above.

I'm very pleased with the veg trug and it's all set up ready to go when the temperature warms up. I found instructions on you tube to assemble. These were very useful and the trug went together very easily.

Reply: "Hi There
Both finishes are treated with a water based and food safe preservative, the stain on the grey trug is also food safe. This is the information that the manufacturer supplies us, they have not given us the name of the preservative used but I know they went to considerable trouble to source a food safe solution. If you require more information, let me know and I will contact Vegtrug.

Hi Andrew,
Thank you very much for your reply. I would indeed be very grateful if you could find out the details of the treatment, either the chemical(s) or the proprietary name.
Regards,

We have had one or two customers add castors however the issue is weight. When the Vegtrug is filled and the soil gets moisture in to it you can be looking at 500kg in weight for the Trug and the soil combined. This requires serious castors to carry that weight and also would be very hard to move around

We have had a number of customers growing various fruit in vegtrugs and the depth of soil is not an issue. I suppose the only issue might be that raspberries grow quite high and as the Vegtrug is already at waste height picking the crop might prove a little difficult. Other than that i can't see any issue.
