Features and BenefitsOver filling can cause problems for sure as can too much water (or too little) and also growing the wrong combinations can be problematic although that doesn’t seem to be the case in your vegtrug. The vegtrug is a great place to make a herb garden, maybe a Mediterranean themed herb garden. Or just use herbs as companion plants with your vegetables. Many useful herbs can be found in my post herbs as companion plants. Let me know in the comments which herbs you’ve added to your vegtrug planting guide. Filling Your Vegtrug As for the Asparagus the variety is Mary Washington, which is available to buy over here but as these were produced in Norway I’m hoping they have some Winter protection bred into them.

We are currently unable to deliver to the following postcodes in Scotland (AB, DD,PH), Highlands, Northern Ireland and the Channel Islands We went for the medium vegtrug which is actually the largest one they do? It’s 1.8 metres (6 foot) long, 76 cms (30 inches) wide and 80 cms (31.5 inches) high. That’s an area roughly 6 foot by 2.5 foot in old money. It stands waist high making it easy to work on so planting, watering, weeding, and harvesting are a doddle. What Is A Vegtrug?

If you’ve been following my posts for a while you’ll probably be aware that I had a brain bleed a few years ago. What I haven’t told you is last year I had a quintuple heart by-pass and it’s left me very weak. I can’t manage my allotment so my son set me up a vegtrug and here’s my vegtrug planting guide. Well done with the lettuce too! It’s time now to start planning your Autumn veggies and lettuce and radishes are ideal to sow now. You can also start some carrots as they take around 12-15 weeks to develop so that’s another option. Thanks for your comment, parsnips are notoriously difficult to grow in any conditions so don’t feel bad about not getting any.

Impressed with the product and the service. Easy to put together and plant. Looking forward to fresh produce. The vegtrug is essentially a raised bed, or large container garden and so it should be planted up accordingly. Finding plants to grow is the easy bit, but they need to be compatible parts, not all plants get along. I’m talking about companion planting here, the way some plants work together and others work against each other. Companion Planting A VegtrugThe new and improved Medium 1.8m Classic Greenhouse Frame and Multi Cover Set is made up of a connecting metal frame manufactured from zinc powder-coated steel. Row 1 – Went really well – Garlic was an eye opener, so easy. If anything, Onions were harvested too early, so a little small. The VegTrug was designed to bring grow-your-own to everyone, whether you have a garden or not. Small spaces, balconies and courtyards are all perfect places for the Classic (though the Wall Hugger goes even smaller!)
