I'm a huge fan of these planters. I was concerned when they were delivered because the boxes were mangled during shipment, but the plastic film covering each section prevented scratches from developing and no hardware was lost. Assembly was tedious. 132 nuts, bolts and washers per planter. It was the perfect activity for day 6 of the mother-in-law's 10 day stay. Several hours and several beers later these giant beauties were good to go. I'm excited to get my startups in the dirt and very chipper to try this HUGELKULTURE METHOD. I'd been planning on fabricating raised beds and was hooked as soon as I discovered these. I hope in the future Vego will offer some inside curved 90 degree sections so I can get more creative with a continuous raised bed designs. Two green thumbs up from this guy!
