About this deal

It is important to water seeds and seedlings daily for a week or more. After that the reservoir will have enough water to keep the plant healthy. It is a good idea to reduce watering significantly once the plant is established. Over-watering can cause as much harm to your plants as under-watering.

A number of reviewers reported that the pod’s mesh cover effectively protected their plants from the elements, and particularly helped seedlings survive even in high winds.A protective polyethylene knitted mesh cover protects your crops from pests and UV, and also regulates temperature by letting water and air get through. Over the years, I have bought three new Vegepods. The first was in August 2016. I assembled it shortly after, but did not get to fill and use it until August 2019. The second one I bought July 2019, and the third I bought May 2020. I find the fittings and stitching do not last well, otherwise I am relatively happy with the Vegepods. The Vegepod Raised Garden Bed Kits are contained, making it easy to control the growth and quality of your veggies away from the ground and pests. Established plants can last weeks without watering and in cooler times your plants may not require water for months at a time.

Spacing: The sun is the most important factor when it comes to spacing, but other aspects should be considered as well, For example, compost. Consider planting plant rich, fertilised compost on one side of the pod where the leafy greens go. On the other side, add sandier, loamy soil that will host hardier varieties such as root veggies like carrots, rosemary and such. If you really wanted to get particular, you can try the ‘ square foot gardening technique’, where gardeners basically use string or bamboo to section off plots of the garden bed allocated for different purposes. This is great if you are really focused on making the most of your space. Also, regardless of season, sun is the crucial ingredient to year round growing. Make sure your Vegepod is positioned in a sunny and level spot in your garden. Tip #3- Size does matter According to reviewers, the pod’s self-watering worked well, which made maintaining their gardens very low maintenance. If you’re not sure about spacing, you can always try the ‘ruthless horticulturalist technique’. This basically involves sprinkling a whole bunch of seeds in a particular area and when the veggies sprout, pulling out the weaker ones to make room for the strong looking shoots - a mini version of Darwin’s survival of the fittest if you will. Tip #4 - Playing the FieldTiming: We’d all like an abundance of lettuce, just not at the same time. So plant some seedlings a week apart for a few weeks so you have your veggies staggered in time with your needs. Be sure to plant seasonal veggies too for variety of produce. By bringing the planting area to waist height, there is a significant reduction in the amount of bending making it easier to work the soil, and tend your vegetables, herbs, plants and some fruits.
