I have had a bad experience with a metal raised garden bed, so I was skeptical when I was first approached by Vegega to review one of their garden beds. Nevertheless, I went into it with an open mind. Even once the box had arrived, I could tell it was different than the other one I had. It was HEAVY. In this video, I show you the 9 possible configurations for this bed from the garden bed's instructions, how I chose to assemble it, how I filled it with cardboard, compost from my own garden, collard leaves, garden soil, and covered with a layer of straw mulch before adding plants.

I am definitely going to want more of these. No wood to haul home from the hardware store. MUCH taller than my regular raised beds (which I do love, because my son built them for me). MUCH sturdier than other metal raised beds I've seen (and used!).

I like these so much I signed up to become an affiliate so I can offer you a *discount code* to order one for yourself.
