Vegepod - Small

Very happy with the Vegepod. It was easy to assemble and set up (lots of useful videos on You Tube which helped). I planted only a small amount of seeds initially, mainly salad type vegetables, and they have grown really well. I hadn’t attempted to grow vegetables for years as there are too many rabbits around to make it worth the effort normally. The Vegepod gives good protection from them and also from other wildlife. The height makes for comfortable working - I got the wheeled stand which also allows for easy movement. Now I am rediscovering the enjoyment of home grown vegetables I will be growing more - will probably need second Vegepod at some stage! Customer service has been great also.

This is the second one I have ordered because I am staggered (as a complete novice) how fast my salad veggies have grown from tiny seeds in just a matter of weeks!! This pod is perfect - the only problem - I ran out of space! At this time of pandemic, I ordered it and got a message it would arrive in 1-2 weeks (pretty standard). To my complete surprise, less than 48 hours later, it was delivered!! Bravo!! Thank you so much. The base is very heavy hence 3 stars for easy to assemble, it's difficult to lift but once it is erected, it's not going to move about anywhere.

This is a brilliant bit of kit. The design is so clever and easy to put together. It is sturdy and protects the plants really well. The built in sprinkler makes it really easy to water. Superb!

Not an object of beauty but I think improved by making a wood stand. Since the pod is basically a black plastic trough it is a shame it could not have been made in one piece as it comes in many sections that have to be bolted together. Fortuneately the bolts are plastic so they won't rust but do be careful not to over-tighten them as it did causing one of them to snap. The sprinkle works quite well although the ends of the bed get less water than the centre. Stretching the cover over the frame was a bit of a struggle but I got there in the end. It's early to say but I suspect it will prove to be an effective way to grow vegetables and I am getting a lot of pleasure in seeing them grow.

We are delighted with the product it is in full use with salad crops. We would have no hesitation in recommending a vegi pod to others. It is also giving us a great deal of pleasure.

Very sturdy Fixing the irrigation system so that the water sprays over the plants evenly can be a little fiddly

Amazing concept already got tomatoes, peppers in and flourishing, just a little bit pricey.

We bought 2 of the large size Vegepods last year and have been using them as a test bed for some of our gardening products through last Autumn/ Winter 2018, Spring 2019 and now Summer. Installation is easy but study the instructions and even watch the video and easiest with 2 people, but OK one person. BUY/USE the winter cover as we grew cabbage and garlic all through winter when temperatures dropped to -5C! Also very useful in spring when you plant and plants are tender and will protect from a cold wind and frost damage!! We have intensively grown (with great results) the following Cabbage, Garlic, Peas, Spring Onions, Aubergine, Tomatoes, Swiss Chard, Strawberries (best tasting ever!) , Endami, Courgette, dwarf beans, lettuce. One of the tests we wanted to run was how much we could cram plants into the vegepod and we have been pleasantly surprised how well it has coped and how much it has yielded. We haven't used the spray bar as hose pipe not feasible for where we are sited but we think it is a great idea, but watering can worked just fine. Use a good/high quality compost and perhaps add 10% more than the recommended amount as it will compact, if you are spending good money on the Vegepod don't skimp on the quality of the compost is our advice. If using winter cover watch out for hot spring days as it can get very hot, so you need to lift the lid to avoid heat stress. Work out where you are going to site the Vegepod first as when it is full of compost it is heavy, so move when it's empty :-) Very nice to be able to plant and tend at waist height rather than kneeling and bending. In very high winds make sure the lid is firmly closed and perhaps add some extra method to keep the lid in place. We just kept the same compost from September 2018 and fed appropriately with our Seafeed Xtra Fertiliser and manged to get 2-3 crops......and will continue to use through 2020. Not had any slug or snail damage, but you will get aphid damage if the top is left off/open for long periods. All in all we really like this product and have recommended to others and we will be using extensively next year, in fact we are already planning what to plant to grow through Autumn and winter!! Not cheap, but then again you are buying a quality and innovative product.
