VegTrug® 8 Pocket Herb Garden, Wooden Herb Planter, Gray Wash

Beautiful and sturdy planter table. The reviews were very helpful with the assembly, including the negative ones. One of them mentioned problems with the wood splitting when the screws were inserted so I made sure to pre-drill a pilot hole before running the screws in. Worked like a champ. But our favorite review was the one from Melodie where they attached casters to the bottom. What a great idea. I couldn't find any that had proper size brackets to fit the legs so I found some threaded stem-mount casters with inserts for mounting to wood legs. Made by Hirate and available on Amazon in several sizes. I chose the 2.5 inch ones and they work great. To attach them you carefully drill a 1/2 inch hole about 1.5 inches deep into the bottom of the legs. Then you screw the threaded insert into the hole until flush. The kit didn't come with an allen wrench to install it but luckily I had a 10mm allen wrench in my shop. Then you screw the threaded stem into the insert with the provided wrench and you're done. The wheels make it so much more versatile and easy to move around. Totally worth the extra $24. Love the table and can't wait to put it to use! Edit: Decided to make our first attempt something easy. Lettuce, lettuce, kale and cilantro. Still yielding in late October in NC. Totally pleased.

I... am... not... handy. I put this together in 15 minutes and it's solid. When I ordered it, my wife said "Well you will get a year out of it" . I have it on my back porch so it doesn't get exposed to the weather. My herbs are popping and it performs as advertised. If I were to put it outside of my porch I probably would paint it or stain it to protect it, but no need if not in direct weather.

This planter is great. Easy to assemble, just make sure you pay attention to the orientation of the pieces, installed one upside down, but easy enough to fix. I DIY’d a shade cage to protect my herbies from blazing in the Florida sun-so far they are thriving! And I added casters to the bottom so I can easily move her around to catch rain or shade when needed. Fits a good amount of plants. In my laziness my plan is to just keep them in their pots which is working out great. All in all having lots of fun with this planter! May get another for veggies.

I would like to give 5 stars but I can't. Overall it's a good planter. It's pretty sturdy, and easy to assemble. While I was assembling the product, one of the bottom pieces came up. The nails at the bottom are not very sturdy. What I did was try to push it back down, and it did go down but the nail bent. I'm not sure how long that will last and I will have to replace the nail. Also while assembling when you put everything together the way it should, some of the pieces will still be hard to fit and you will have to force it. It's good for what I need.

When I first opened the box it looked really cheap to me but once I put it together I found it to be sturdy and very nice looking! Not cheap at all!!! There is a shelf at the bottom where you can store things and there is plenty of room for multiple types of herbs. It comes with these black liners that initially look really big and sloppy but once you fill with soil and herbs they fit nicely in the compartments. This looks so much much better than having herbs in random pots. I get so many compliments on it and I love to look at it myself!! Great buy for the price!!

I purchased this item 2 years ago, and it withstood multiple snowfalls last year, uncovered, on my back patio and doesn’t show any rot anywhere. Last spring, we planted herbs, and this year, we planted pollinator flowers. No matter what gets planted, it thrives in this raised bed with proper attention and watering. Although the wood seemed dainty when putting it together, it really is very durable. I love the inserts that go in each pocket, making it very easy to plant and water without losing any of the dirt through the slats. Would definitely buy again if it ever begins to deteriorate.

Perfect for kitchen herb garden

Although this vegetable trudge was easily assembled and moved outside I am definitely disappointed that the item is not as described, even on the box! The advertisement and picture on the box show black liners which make sense. What arrived were white liners! This makes no sense since potting soil is going in them which will make them look dirty! I am also hoping this trudge can hold the weight of soil and plantings, it is wobbly. Beautiful to look at except for white liners, I would buy again because the size is great for deck growing and height is perfect.

Good design however disappointed with the quality and lack of customer service. Not only is the wood thin and flimsy but also arrived faulty! I tried to contact the supplier however they have not replied. Buyers beware! The wood is very thin, flimsy and arrived with splits in the wood. The dividers don’t even stay up as they are slightly too short. Save your money and buy a real wood garden bed.

Very good stand, pretty sturdy, assembled nicely.

I had no trouble putting it together, it’s pretty simple. I did find it easier to drill the screw holes prior to attaching the pieces. It isn’t a heavy duty build but I was looking for something I could move around on my deck so it’s perfect. I like the fact that the upper shelf is slotted for drainage and the dividers removable. Added a couple of hardware pieces for decoration. Now all I need are the herbs.

Excellent value for your money. Lovely size herb garden, with a handy shelf to hold watering can and tools. Very sturdy.

Very nice design and sturdy product. Large compartments so can fit things like tomato plants too which is a bonus. Can’t wait to have all my goodies in it on the patio this summer. Great product!
