Hey there! I am super excited to share my new Vego garden bed. Thanks to the good folks at Vego Garden (https://vegogarden.com) for sending me this bed! ***Vego Garden is also having a massive Labor Day sale with up to 40% off. ***
In this video we will walk through the step by step assembly and filling the 32 in tall bed using a take on the hugelkultur method. I will also share some mistakes I made along the way along with a few tips that I believe will make your experience assembling the raised bed, that much easier! Thanks for watching! π₯: August 2023

Beautiful sunflowers!
Dang, that's a big bed! May get one and throw some plastic in there for a pool! ππ€£ JK! I'm definitely looking into this. Thank you!
awesome!
Oh, I can just hear my dad reminding me (with a slight edge to his voice), "When all else fails, read the directions." Historically I've been quite the kid for telling myself, "Oh, I'm sure I can figure this out" and making things harder for myself than they have to be. Dad's advice was always spot-on, but you know what they say about how much smarter our parents became as we ourselves get older.
Beautiful! Perfect height for lettuce and strawberries. Things that are harvested often
I have two Vego Garden beds and two Vegega which are identical. I love them! I love the 32-in. No bending at all. The other ones are 17 in. In my mind I often I rework my whole garden and add more. But I know that's not happening. Lol!
It looks great!
I have the exact same size bed but mine is silver. I'm impressed that you put it together yourself. I TRIED putting mine together by myself and it was a disaster. It was a windy day and the panels blew across my yard. But it's pretty easy with 2 people — one inside the bed and one outside — to get all the bolts tightened.
Ok Ms.B.! You did that!π
Great job, and the bed looks great!π
As always, thanks for sharing!π
I love the size of the bed, especially the height.

What size bags did you buy?
