thank you for your reviews, it confirms my research that Vego is the one to go with. I wasn't as organized as you in my information gathering, but I did decide based on materials, options available, food safety aspect and potential longevity of the beds.
Absolutely excellent presentation... and precise in her analysis. A brain to be loved as it is this sort of review that is so very helpful. Very fair & charitable in her comments. I noted at her introduction of the 4 companies (timecode 0:49)...that she slightly preferred Vego, just by her vocal intonation...the cute guy of the pack, if you will...( not a criticism , just funnieeee).
Thank you for sharing such a detailed and thoughtful review! I’ve been using Vego garden beds for two of my gardens and absolutely love both the company and their products. They often have great sales-I was able to snag the 9-in-1 Novel beds for just $119.00 each. Their bundles are also a fantastic value. I really appreciate your honesty and transparency in this review!
Thank you for this review. It will be most helpful as we are looking to purchase a different brand. The birdies beds were great at first, then started having a couple issues with them so have been wanting to try a different brand. Thank you again. 🌻
@@AuxhartGardening They did really well on the flat areas. In the couple areas that had a slight decline, we used the longer option like you have (the 8 in 1 I believe it was called) & put a little in the ground evenly on one side & now a couple yrs later is bowing out at the bottom. It seems a bit too flimsy. Thinking we did something wrong, double checked birdies video to make sure. I have them 1/2 full now with lettuces, radish, onions & peas but after harvest, we are trying a different brand. I'm thinking that the trapezoid design may be sturdier. One of the other birdies have areas of rust from under the rubber seal after 3 years which could be a flaw in the material. The last 2 birdies we purchased were the smaller ones, so far seem like better choice; still hopeful of them. Thank you again for showing your review. It is right on time as we were looking to try another. Appreciate you. 🌻
The features that I liked the most are: rod supports (for the taller beds, I would like the supports to cross) acorn nuts (to keep the threads clean in the dirt I would like to have seen carriage bolts (Screw with a rounded head and a square that connects to a square punch in the metal. They only need one tool to tighten.) I like the rolled top. (I would have preferred a better overlap, like one side cut just under the rolled top) I also like different heights. 11" for tomatoes and 30" for herbs, onions, etc. Colors, I am not particular, as long as they are earth tones. As for accessories, I would like to attach poles to which I could attach strings.
Really great review, thank you! The one aspect I'm curious about tis where these products are made. I'm interested in buying raised beds made in teh USA. If you know where any of these are made, can you please post the answer? Thank you.
What almost certainly happens here is these companies are not making the corrugated metal themselves, they're just buying from another supplier, forming them into the raised bed panels and packing them with the fittings. All the raw material is coming from the same big companies so the raised bed manufacturers are just trying to put their own marketing spin on their metal being better.
Yeah I get that. Gardening in-ground is often a really great option! Usually raised beds only make sense when your soil is too poor or you can't bend over to garden in the ground. Although poor soil can still be fixed without a raised bed, it's just still an investment to get the compost and amendments. I have them to illustrate different types of growing for learning purposes, but you definitely don't need them!
@@AuxhartGardening I do a mix of in ground and raised bed. I would probably move much more raised bed if it was financially attainable for me. Those really tall metal beds are super nice. The older you get, the nicer it is not having to be on your hands and knees weeding lol. I just can't get past the sticker shock. Come on powerball.

Ooh I’m glad you messaged me yesterday and told me about this video. It’s just what I needed and right at the perfect time.
Good comprehensive review.
Great job on this one. Extremely useful.
This is really great and helpful as I plan my garden for next year. Thank you so much!
Glad it was helpful!
I really appreciate this video. Im looking now to replace some of our containers. I loved how you broke this down for us. ❤

Oh really? What kind of issues? I’ve only heard good things about them.

Great video! Thank you! The side-by-side comparison was fantastic! Very in-depth on the issues I am concerned about.
Glad it was helpful!
This is an awesome comparison! I love the transparency/honesty, even if you could have cashed in.
I love this comparison!

Thank you!
Thank you! What color is the Vego bed they sent you?
It's the terra cotta one.
Very helpful.
