Vita Classic Keyhole Garden, White Vinyl, 6 Foot x 6 Foot x 22 inch

I purchased one of these in 2018 and just purchased two more in 2020. The current ones are a new style, but they still fit together into the original. The current ones are built better than the original. If you buy multiple sets, they can all be joined together. You can also build any shape that you want as the panels just slide together. You do not need to use the composter section. I put that up top as a trellis for peas. BIG NOTE TO EVERYONE: You cannot use cardboard in these. Cardboard is now coated with antifungal/anti-rot chemicals. So cardboard is out for composting. The big problem with these is that the panels bend at the connection points. What happens is that these start to bow out and get out of square. They do it a lot more after winter as the soil expands and pushes everything out. They give you three stakes (now aluminum tubes) to help. This is not enough. I purchased eight 8' 3/4" X 3/4" tubes and cut them into 32" pieces to stake each post. I am pretty sure it will need more posts. Each 8' length is around ten dollars though. The next thing you also need to do is you cant use all soil. That's a lot of weight. This time around I added 12 cubic feet of perlite to lighten the soil. You can buy it online here in 4 cubic foot bags. After filling one up with perlite and dirt, it still seems too much weight pushing out on the sides. I think I might try putting a 2X4' inside and screwing the panels to it as a brace. The garden is easy to put together. You just slide the panels down. Squaring it is a little hard, but just take your time. As I mentioned, it will go out of square each year after freezing, so spring maintenance is digging out all around the perimeter, straightening the panels, and then backfilling the dirt. It looks really nice. It does not look "farmy" or "country" like homemade​ wooden ones do.

First off, To make your assembly carefree, go by your nearest home supply store and get many pieces of 4 ft Rebar, an Electric or Rechargable Drill, a Posthole digger, a long level, and lastly a good sturdy hoe to counter sink the boards just a little. What a fantastic product!!!!! Take notice the Hard Plastic posts have holes already pre-drilled. Take notice from a guy who put it together, and then took it apart and redid it. When you put the boards in the grooves, go ahead and secure them, it makes it much easier to assemble. Now, you could go ahead and just one in the top hole and one in the bottom to make sure of the length that you are going with. The Rebar makes an already sturdy product that much more solid. I have much more to fix but I found what's going to do it!

This was super easy to put together---like playing with giant blocks! Lol! We bought this to make tending the plants easier and to keep out the bunnies! We planted a vegetable and herb garden using the square foot method. We chose not to use the cardboard in the bottom before filling with soil, though, because we had a termite problem a few years ago and have learned that cardboard (termite's favorite) as well as chunks of wood / logs as some garden sites recommend using to fill up some space so you don't need as much soil in raised beds (or whole gardens!!), is a bad idea because it becomes a food source for foraging termites, attracting them. We used all soil and made our own soil mixture out of bagged soil, bagged compost, some of our own compost which wasn't very much, peat moss, and perlite. So far, everything is thriving. We also didn't use the self tapping screws that hold the sections to the posts because we found we didn't need them and if we ever want to disassemble and move the garden...cause, oh yeah, that's gonna happen...but still, why use them if we don't have to? Also, didn't leave the compost area unfilled to receive compost. We put it in place, but filled it with the soil for more planting area.

I already had this garden bed and loved it so much that I ordered a second one. Unfortunately, it came damaged and one of the pieces was cracked. This made it very hard to slide the pieces together seamlessly during set up. I am very sad because it was supposed to be an easy set up. Without this cracked piece and difficultly fitting together as a result, it would have been a great garden bed. Since I waited for nicer weather to build my bed, it is outside of the return window.

Beautiful garden bed, delivered on time, BEYOND easy to build, sturdy- and did I mention BEAUTIFUL?! So many compliments already and it’s only been planted a month. Added berry bushes in pots, as well as shepherds hooks with strawberries in the front to complete the look. The tomato cages and arch trellis were also purchased on Amazon; really turns the bed into a fairy tale garden. Compost section is optional, I wanted to utilize every inch so I didn’t add it. Everything is already growing strong and large- cannot wait to see how it looks in the height of the garden season, and for many more years to come. If in doubt- just DO IT!

Manufactured very well and easy to assemble. Great height. Had it for two full seasons now. Took a lot more soil to fill than my original, napkin math, estimate. Put a 6 foot wire fench around it to keep out the deer.

Never have I ever had such an easy time putting something together. There are directions, but they are practically unnecessary. Great quality, sturdy, beautiful. Can’t say enough great things about this raised garden bed.

I am still planting in this gorgeous & strong raised garden. I bought this 3 years ago & no issues! I actually have 2 moringa trees growing in there & sage & lavender. I highly recommend you buy this garden. It has been a joy to me.
