After many years of gardening, along with my increased aging, I found it more difficult to maintain my garden and it was just not "fun" anymore. Three years ago I invested (I thought) in raised beds and I did find it easier to do my gardening chores, less all the weeds. To my surprise this year I found all my raised beds rotting. I was so disappointed and frustrated at all the work that went into these beds and now 3 years later, they are falling apart. That experience prompted me to investigate other ways to do raised bed. That is when I found Vego gardening. After much investigation of the different products on the market, I was most impressed with the Vego raised beds. I decided to invest in one to just see the quality and to put it mildly, I am very impressed. I have a total of 8 raised beds and I will replace them all with Vego beds.
