Growing vegetables at home can be incredibly rewarding and shoppers have found a ‘brilliant’ piece of kit that is helping them sow an abundance of fresh lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers and more. Whether shopping as a seasoned gardener, or just starting out, the VegTrug Raised Planter allows for a smart way to grow vegetables on a patio, balcony or garden.
The 1.8m split design is £219.99 at full price and while it’s down to £174.99 on Amazon, it can be bought for £158.39 on Yimbly, owned by this site’s parent company Reach PLC, with the discount code SPRING10. Saving shoppers more than £60, it serves as the perfect opportunity to take advantage of the deal and get going with summer gardening.
Made from 100% FSC-certified cedar wood and treated with a water-based food safe preservative, the VegTrug Medium Classic Planter not only looks stylish, seamlessly blending into any outside space, it is durable through bad weather. Ready for planting straight away, a clever V-shaped design means deep and shallow-rooted crops can grow together.
With a capacity of 420 litres of soil, there’s plenty of room for everything from vegetables to herbs and flowers – all conveniently in one place. It also features a pre-formed biodegradable liner to ensure stability and healthy soil with minimal maintenance.
Consumers with a tighter outside area to work with don’t have to miss out on growing their own produce at home – the planter is ideal for a balcony or a patio. The raised height eliminates the need to bend over or kneel when gardening, plus, raised planters are generally better for managing slugs and insects.

One buyer has been incredibly impressed with the VegTrug planter, commenting that it took them from a lettuce or two to an epic ‘vegetable empire’. They wrote: “I bought a VegTrug thinking I’d casually grow a bit of lettuce… fast forward and I’m now emotionally invested in a full-blown vegetable empire. First things first this thing is brilliant.
“Solid, looks great, perfect height (no back-breaking gardening), and it fits loads more than you expect. My tomatoes, cucumber, peppers, carrots, onions and lettuce have all moved in like they’re paying rent. However… no one warned me it has the soil appetite of a small planet.”
Someone else noted it is easy to assemble, writing: “Really happy with this purchase. Instructions to build were easy to follow.” And a third person said similar with: “Nothing to dislike, easily assembled, great quality, very impressed and happy with the Trug.”

On sale for £158.39 at Yimbly, the discount code does save a considerable amount off the VegTrug, however, it may be too pricey for some budgets. One purchaser initially found it to be expensive but changed their mind after using it.
They said: “I thought originally it was a bit expensive but really impressed with the quality and the look of it, also if you get the greenhouse cover for it which again I thought was expensive but again really worth the money.”
For a cheaper option, the Fallen Fruits Slatted Wooden Raised Bed retails for £99 at Dunelm. Customers confirm is it ‘easy to assemble’ and a ‘good sturdy planter for herbs’. It comes in two shades – a light wood or a dark wood.
An even more affordable idea would be to go for other materials, over wood. Made from sustainable materials, the My Garden Raised Garden Flower Bed is £24.99 at Wilko and while it may not look as attractive to some, shoppers say it is ‘super’ and ‘much bigger than expected’.
Back to the VegTrug Raised Planter, someone left a glowing review and has even picked up multiple planters, sharing: “Very well made, easy to put together with the easy to read instructions.
“Very strong and will or great for growing out veg, perfect height do not need to bend down. Perfect to grow various vegetables or plants, they are perfect so we have ordered a second one.”
