New 'Vegtrug' Planter and Elevated Raised Beds Help Gardeners Grow a Healthy Vegetable Harvest in Small Space, With No Bending or Kneeling

Gardener's Supply's Vegetable Container Garden and Raised Beds Feature Easy Working Height, Optimal Growing Conditions

With Gardener's Supply new Vegtrug planter and Elevated Cedar Raised Beds, vegetable gardeners of all ages and abilities can play in the dirt without having to get down on their knees! The new growing container and accessories make it possible to grow a bounty of fresh vegetables in a convenient and small space, at a height comfortably above the ground.

"Both the Vegtrug and the Elevated Raised Beds were designed with both plants and gardeners in mind," said Gardener's Supply employee-owner Brooke Sperling. "It combines a comfortable working height for comfort with variable soil depths preferred by different vegetables... and both options are stylish."

The Vegtrug, made from sustainable plantation-grown fir and finished with vegetable-friendly stain, is compact enough to be placed on a patio or front porch for fresh produce an arm's length away.

The Cedar Elevated Raised Beds are beautiful, and made from naturally rot-resistant cedar with rustproof aluminum corners. The unique beds can be used solo in the 8' size or combined with 2'x 2' size to create corners and edging to your yard, patio, or arrange several to create a 'garden room.'

The Vegtrug's unique V-shape and impressive 30-inch depth allow a variety of vegetables to be grown within one container; deep rooted plants like tomatoes love the center, while salad greens thrive along the shallow edges.

The generously sized Vegtrug measures 71" long by 31" high by 30" deep and holds 380 quarts of compost/soil. A custom-fit, fabric membrane liner provides ideal drainage and adequate airflow without soil washout.

Vegtrug accessories allow gardeners to customize the container to suit their growing needs. An Insect Cover ($29.95) attaches easily to keep pests at bay. The metal and polyethylene Frame and Cover ($69.95) fit perfectly to create a micro-climate for plants, offering protection from cold, wind and heavy rains while extending the growing season.

The Elevated Cedar Raised Beds have a false floor made from marine-grade plywood set 10" down from the top so there's plenty of root space for vegetables and flowers. The floor has holes for drainage; vents in the sides allow air to circulate and excess moisture to evaporate.
