I was able to put these together with one hand and help from my 8 year old. Love them. Replacing wood boxes in garden that are falling apart.

Comments about Grow Beds:

My tomatoes and zucchini are growing great. I have the 3 X 6 bed and put too many plants in so they will be crowded. But everything is good so far. 6/7/2011

Comments about Grow Beds:

i found it easy to assemble and move around.
it took 3 bags of compost and 3 bags of top
soil to fill it up to 8 inches. i can add
more if needed. i will use it for radishes,
as i have a bacteria in my soil that turns
radishes grey or black and renders them
inedible.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I have several of these. They are great because you can move them around. They are so easy to assemble, too.

Comments about Grow Beds:

As a "senior," this is my first veggie garden. We live in a mobile home park in the Mid-Hudson Valley of NY. The soil here, at least, is incompatible with producing a thriving garden, and there's little space. I also have a chronic pain illness. After my partner did the heavy work of assembling (which is easy!) and adding the soil to the 3'x3' bed, I planted the seedlings. Raised beds are really the way to go to produce a good harvest in a small space. I'll need to get another one next spring to add more variety!

Comments about Grow Beds:

the 3x6 raised bed would have been perfect if it has just been a larger version of the 3x3 bed. It is however a 3x3 'extension' to the 3x3 bed and requires a drill instead of being 'no tools required' as the 3x3 bed is.

Comments about Grow Beds:

Good plant depth.

Comments about Grow Beds:

This is my first attempt at vegetable garden. I bought the grow bed because it was affordable and looked easy to put together. I was very pleased with the product. My husband is concerned it will not hold up over the winter, but for now it is working just great.

Comments about Grow Beds:

My Grandson and I put together in a few minutes. It was easy to set up and its working great for our vegetable garden.

Comments about Grow Beds:

This is the best idea ever. It is easy to set up, keeps the garden neat and organized and holds tons of plants. The larger bed is a bit flimsy on the side but I believe it will hold up well - it is sturdy enough. Can't believe how many plants I can get in them!! Love it!

Comments about Grow Beds:

Great for strawberries and raised areas.

Comments about Grow Beds:

Trying this after constructing my own raised bed. I like deeper bed for root crops. It's worth a try this year.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I got the 3 x 3 and the 3x 6 grow beds and am very happy with them. I was surprised that you needed to drill holes for the 3 x 6 - that should be stated somewhere in the description. That was impossible for me to do since I had no access to electricity where I was placing it. I put it together without the plate installed and it seems to be holding together fine. Other than that, assembly was easy, they look good, they hold a lot of plants - love them and will add more next year.

Comments about Grow Beds:

This product is great! [...] I think it will work great! Be sure to purchase the liner if you are placing it on pavement or grass. The liner is made of great quality!

Comments about Grow Beds:

These easy to assemble grow beds allow you to quickly establish a garden in small areas. They are reusable and can be relocated if needed. We use them in our concrete covered back yard area to provide garden space for our small but intensive gardening.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I purchased these grow beds to replace wooden ones from a few years ago. Despite prepping the wood with preservative, the ground contact (and a few very snowy winters) took it's toll. I like the idea that this is a recycled product and am looking forward to many years of gardening.

Comments about Grow Beds:

3x3 went together very easily. Looks great in my new garden area and seem very sturdy. This is my first attempt at raised beds so I'm anxious to get planting. These would be great for kids to learn how to garden.

Comments about Grow Beds:

To put together the 3 x 3 is the easiest thing I've done. It just slides together. However, the 3 x 6 requires a drill and screwdriver. Next time, I would order two 3 x 3 boxes. I would not recommend the 3 x 6.

Comments about Grow Beds:

Struggled with a vegetable garden for years and my wife suggested the raised bed. Purchased three and filled them with organic top soil. Plants tripled in size in three weeks. Hands down, the best vegetable garden I have ever started. Growing carrots and beets for the first time. I have purchased some very good products from Gardeners Supply over the years - this is the best!

Comments about Grow Beds:

I bought this to grow my own tomatoes, green peppers and cucumbers. I was amazed at how easy it as to put together, and I look forward to see what I can produce without the hassel of digging a traditional veggie garden. I cannot wait to add on next year!

Comments about Grow Beds:

I purchased two a few years ago and now have 4. I like the depth this product offers unlike others which also makes it easier to grow in a more compact manner. Also, the 3 x 3's are much easier to place in your yard, more versatile than the larger units.
I would like to see some sort of bottom screen added to this product as the soil can erode from underneath if not placed on a perfectly flat piece of land.

Comments about Grow Beds:

The only reason I didn't give this 5 stars was because the 3x6 kit is actually a 3x3 kit with the extension kit added. In order to secure the 2 kits together one has to drill holes in the plastic to attach a plastic joining plate. We got it done with the help of a neighbour with a drill and it seems very sturdy, but I had not appreciated that this would be necessary from the online description.

Comments about Grow Beds:

This is a fantastic raised bed. My husband assembled this in just a few minutes with my toddler watching. I loved that it was portable (before soil) so we could find the perfect spot. We did not buy the soil sold on this site. I planted 6 indeterminite tomato plants and used the cage and towers suggested. The tomatoes are really growing!!! I couldn't be happier...

Comments about Grow Beds:

Looks good and the plants are happy there. Easy to reach everything.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I chose raised beds to optimize space and sunlight. This allowed me to choose the perfect location without having to rototill a thick lawn.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I purchased this raised bed to separate my zucchinis and other viney plants from my tomato and pepper garden. It was very easy to assemble and it holds much more soil than I anticipated (8 cubic feet). I can tell it will hold up well over time because of the recycled plastic construction. The only con is that the sides bow out slightly with the weight of the soil, but that's simply cosmetic and doesn't affect its use in any way. Overall this was a good buy.

Comments about Grow Beds:

Used for all my summer gardening

Comments about Grow Beds:

Your grow beds are the deepest i could find for the price. Assembled in minutes with minimal fuss.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I bought several of these when I realized it would cost too much to put down several inches of good garden soil over my entire plot. I agree that the joints seem a little flimsy; but they do the job. However, these aren't heavy duty, so don't put too much stress on them. Someone mentioned that these were flexible enough to alter the square shape (think parallelogram). I followed this advice and was able to fit them better into my plot. Do be aware that if you bend too far, the joint covers can pop off. I don't know yet if that will allow any soil to spill out of the corners. Yeah, these aren't as attractive as wooden raised beds (and I didn't feel like springing for the new blue ones); but they get the job done and I planted some annuals along the outer sides to compensate.

Comments about Grow Beds:

This is my first season with this product. My husband put the 2 of them together, without a problem, in the sunniest spot for veggies - I also added 2 cucumber trellises to shade the lettuce and hold the cukes, zucchini and eggplants. However the side are bulging so I'm concerned about longevity. Time will tell if I'm a happy customer.

Comments about Grow Beds:

These are perfect for a tiny garden at my apartment house. They come in a good variety of sizes, which allow me to make best use of what little space I have. They are sturdy, easy to assemble and presentable looking. I'm very excited about this year's garden.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I'm using the grow bed with the polypropylene liner to keep out invasive tree roots, the bane of my garden. But I can't comment much on it (and the 3x3 one with the liner) because it is the very beginning of the growing season here and I don't have any results to report.
But it was easy enough to assemble (2 people make it easier) and I can say that even with heavy rain the liner did not allow the soil to get sodden -- so the drainage appears to be good. I'm using my own soil mix so that will be factored into the results.

Comments about Grow Beds:

the bed held about 19 bags of soil, and lots of spaces for plants. we've only just started to use it, but so far so good.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I am a renter, and have been container vegetable and herb gardening in the summers for the past few years. However, I've been wanting to do raised beds, but didn't want to invest in a lot of materials and labor, only to leave it behind when I move away. I bought a 3x3' bed, and I loved it so much that I bought another a couple of weeks later! They are so easy to assemble, and I am so excited at how well my plants are growing. In one I have three tomato plants, carrot seeds, New Mexico chile, 3 bell peppers, and calendula, and in the other, I have two types of pole beans, amaranth, and echinacea. I love that I will be able to use these for years, and bring them with me wherever I move after I leave my current rental home. I am using them with the liners sold for them, so there's no weeding, either! I hope to have a great harvest, and I'll be buying more next year!

Comments about Grow Beds:

It was so easy, I really can't recommend anything.

Comments about Grow Beds:

We assembled the grow boxes last weekend and filled them. Assembly was easy and the product seems quite sturdy. Will be planting this weekend. They look so much neater than my original vegetable bed. Can't wait to see what I expect will be very successful results.

Comments about Grow Beds:

Having read others' comments recommending two 3 x 3 units instead of a 3 x 6, we purchased those in black, found them easy to assemble, and grouped them, along with your potato grow bags, in a former perennial bed to increase amount of veggie production. Seem sturdy, unobtrusive.

Comments about Grow Beds:

The directions for assembly are, in my opinion, backwards as regards the "entension" aspect of making a 3 x 6 bed out of what is esentially 2 3 x 3 beds. The sequence of steps should be refined so that the assembly could be accomplished in a much shorter time. Bt the time I had gotten to the third (of 3) "extended" beds I had figured out a much simpler method.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I loved how easy to assemble this grow bed was--it just snaps together with no tools required! It took all of 5 minutes and I was ready to fill it and plant it. That left more time for sipping lemonade in the shade while admiring my handiwork.

Comments about Grow Beds:

Very useful and easy to set up.. the looks of it could be better, very plain.

Comments about Grow Beds:

These are great for my small herb and vegetable garden. I have three of them. Easy to put together. Sturdy.

Comments about Grow Beds:

This raised bed is the first chance I've had to grow vegetables in my garden. My landscape maintenance company assembled the bed and filled it with a fast-draining soil mixture. I have watered the soil for over a week to settle it; it drains well. I just planted my first seeds today.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I needed an above ground solution for an herb garden. The 3 X 3 grow bed with the optional liner was just what I needed. [...]. Setup was a breeze and I had a working herb garden up and running over the weekend. I have also added drip irrigation to make it even more efficient. This is a great product and I anticipate adding additional modules in the future.

Comments about Grow Beds:

Used for raised bed in desert southwest; allows for proper drainage and protection from pests.

Comments about Grow Beds:

These raised beds are perfect for containing large amounts of vegetables in a neat and orderly fashion. Instead of the sprawling overgrown mass of vegetable plants things are neatly contained. Perfect for the suburban yard. It heats up fast and drains well so my plants do very well. The sides are long lasting and durable, and replacement sides are available should a hinge break.

Comments about Grow Beds:

More colors would be nice. It takes a lot of planing soil to fill, but can be used on rocks and unusable areas with the liner.

Comments about Grow Beds:

Easy to assemble - perfect for my situation

Comments about Grow Beds:

So quick and easy to set up and look great in my backyard!

Comments about Grow Beds:

It worked so well last year that I'm adding another one this year!

Comments about Grow Beds:

This works great as easy to use and contain graden. Quick setup and easy to maintain.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I needed an extra set of hands to put these together as the 3 x 6 size is awkward... I also could not figure out how to attach the connector plates... there are not any pre-drilled holes in which to screw in the screws.... other than that, I purchased 3 and they seem like they will be around for a long time and are by far the best deal around... I checked out prices everywhere online and in stores... and these were the best price for the money and durablility!

Comments about Grow Beds:

Used this for small kitchen garden with herbs, onions, and a couple of tomato plants. Would be very helpful if it had supports to add a cover for added protection.

Comments about Grow Beds:

Easy to put together,easy to tend to,grows about anything. I would recommend this product to anyone.

Comments about Grow Beds:

My first raised bed. Need to order the bird pop up tho

Comments about Grow Beds:

Small enough for easy access for harvest of frequently used herbs.

Comments about Grow Beds:

The product is very easy to put together and we have no experience in this. Planted items last weekend and they've thrived...new seeds already sprouting. Compact, neat looking, doesn't take a lot of space.

Comments about Grow Beds:

We were surprised by the abundance of vegetables that were produced by our first two raised beds. Since I overcrowded a few plants last year, I was eager to buy two more beds so that I can expand my garden and add some more variety. I had great success my first year gardening and am excited to see what this year will bring.

Comments about Grow Beds:

This is my first time to use garden boxes. They were easy to assemble. I like the height of the box. So easy to plant your seeds or transplants. I find the use of the garden boxes cuts down on watering and no weeding makes gardening a breeze. I will buy more. I haven't had any negative experience with this product.

Comments about Grow Beds:

Excellent choice for small gardens for the home use

Comments about Grow Beds:

The bed was very good and several connect to make a longer bed. The only issue i had was when lengthening, the plastic connector rods did not hold when full. i solved that with replacing with rebar and drove them into the ground to strengthen.

Comments about Grow Beds:

looks nice in the yard. easy to assemble.good custermer service too.

Comments about Grow Beds:

This is the perfect solution for those, like me, who have to deal with heavy, black soil that contains a lot of clay. I set up my grow bed in about 15 minutes, filled it with good organic soil and compost, and set out my little herbs. I look forward to a great year of fresh herbs in my cooking!

Comments about Grow Beds:

I purchased 3 mini raised beds because we have poor soil, limited space, and want to grow more edibles. The beds fit into my flower garden very well, and are a good blend with the surrounding perennials. So far lettuces, radishes, shallots and strawberries are looking good. I am amazed at how much they actually hold. Wish I had space for more.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I love my grow bed!

Comments about Grow Beds:

Great way to start a small, self contained kitchen garden for growing organic vegetables. It will be sufficient for a household of two people and a way to try to lead a more "green" lifestyle.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I bought this garden for to make a separate bed for my herbs.Now I have a permanent herb garden.

Comments about Grow Beds:

Use it for growing tomatoes

Comments about Grow Beds:

I'm in the pacific northwest and it rains almost everyday. This product has stood up to the rain and cold and still looks brand new.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I bought this for my husband as a surprise gift. He already had one from Gardner Supply and really liked it. He wanted to add on so now he has nine x three feet.

He mixes his vegetable and flower seeds in the same bed and it works very well.

There is nothing negative about this product.

Comments about Grow Beds:

This is the fourth 3 x 6 ft box we've purchased. Initially bought 3 several years ago, and just recently purchased an additional one to increase our vegetable crop. We use them in our backyard to grow vegetables. Since we have terrible dirt, having above ground boxes is an ideal way to be able to use store bought plus helps keep your beds tidy. We've grown vegetables in these plastic boxes both from seed and plant.They have held up well, although we've noticed some bowing of the pieces when overfilled with dirt. You also need a tool to finalize putting it together.

Comments about Grow Beds:

Easy to set up. Soil warms up early spring. sometimes awkward to work in.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I am using my grow beds for bush beans and pepper plants. Easy to harvest from which is good for an old gardener.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I love these grow beds so much that I have converted my entire vegetable garden to their use. I've got 8 beds and am looking for new spots to squeeze in a few more!

Comments about Grow Beds:

I bought this specifically to create a strawberry bed and, for that purpose, it works great. I was surprised to find that the 3 x 6 bed consists of two 3 x 3 beds that you have to attach using a drill. These are extremely utilitarian and, in the future, I would get them in periwinkle or cedar. But the price was right and they'll do the job just fine.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I bought two grow beds, the 3 X 3 and the mini 3 X 18". Both were very easy to put together and install. They seem sturdy and weather resistant. There is a slight amount of play at the corners that allows the beds to fit into angled places. When the beds are filled with damp soil, the 3 foot long sides bow out slightly, which is not a problem for me, but might make the beds unsuitable for someone who wants to do square foot gardening precisely, The black color heats the soil too much in my hot climate. The insect protection and vertical gardening accessories sold by GSC fit the 3 X 3 bed, but not the mini grow bed.

Comments about Grow Beds:

It would have been difficult for me to assemble alone b/c of the lack of pre-drilled holes.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I put these together today and it was easy. The 3X3 bed just snaps together and the 3X6 isn't that hard. Had both together in under an hour. I'm really looking forward to growing my garden this year. I wish I had bought more than just 2 of them. Will be adding more.

Comments about Grow Beds:

We started square foot gardening last spring using a few of these beds. It was such a great success that we bought more for this season. Worth the investment - you will have them for many years.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I purchased six of these 6 years ago ([...]) and they have survived through 2 home moves and 2 rearrangements. I have used them in a variety of designs with a couple of 3x6 configurations. I wish they had the extension kits years ago because they do bow without a brace support (but not horribly). So, this year I will be ordering the extension kits and ordering a bunch of mini grow beds for my berries. I also plan on moving my boxes, yet again, to another spot. I love these. And they've been a great value compared to any other material. I wish they had slightly deeper ones for more permanent berry bush placement. Maybe I'll be making a lip of composite wood to create more height. Either way, I saved a lot of money last summer by growing my own veggies and this summer I plan on intensively planting to sell at a farmer's market. Wish me luck!

Comments about Grow Beds:

Love this. We cannot start plants indoors due to our cats trying to eat them. We used the garden planner and planted all seeds. Cannot wait to eat the fruits of our labor!

Comments about Grow Beds:

I was not sure how I would like the plastic grow bed, but after I put it together (very easy to do)I was pleased. It looks great and is sturdy. I purchased the liner also, and it fits well.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I live in Florida so I planted the seeds directly in the bed. I mixed my own soil from the recvommendation on your site and it's thriving.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I bought two of these beds to replace one wooden bed which had fallen apart, and to increase my garden area. It seems to be the perfect depth for most plants. I can't yet speak to longevity, but it seems well made. One thing I did not realize, when I purchased the bed, was that I was going to need a drill (I purchased the longer bed which combines two lengths of the smaller) to put it together. Fortunately I have both a drill, and awesome drilling skills. One thing, that I think would make this product even better: make indentations or notches every foot. These beds are perfect for square foot gardening, and such notches would make planting even easier.

Comments about Grow Beds:

Wanting to grow organic minature vegatables, I selected this raised garden rather than building my own. I hope it was made from recycled plastic!

Comments about Grow Beds:

Super product for the price. The 3'6' is a little long and flexible so bows out in middle when filled with soil. I would probably do 2 3'X3' boxes had I known.

Comments about Grow Beds:

The product just arrived today. I know it will be absolutely perfect for my new vegetable garden and can't wait to get started. The quality is apparent and I was thrilled to see that it was made in England as that makes me feel more confident in the safety of eating food grown in it. Sometimes these things seem a little pricey, but [...] we've never been disappointed in a product purchased from them.

Comments about Grow Beds:

This is the best raised bed system I've found for the price. It's easy to set up, sturdy and allows me to grow a good amount of vegetables in a small space. I have one of these purchased two years ago that is still in use and have ordered a second one this year.

Comments about Grow Beds:

The grow garden allowed me to transfor a useless space into an attractive vegetable garden in one afternoon. I was so excited that I took pictures and emailed them to my friends and family. All are very proud of me and I can't wait until harvest time!

Comments about Grow Beds:

Easy to assemble, holds up well.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I like that I can pick up my garden next year and put it somewhere else if I like.

Comments about Grow Beds:

As a new widow I found I no longer needed a large garden. I was able to put these very close to the house which helps with detering deer and other animals from dining on my vegetables. They are neat, durable,easy to move. Alot less work when it comes to any weeds, harvesting and keeping the area neat. Last year I had green beans,tomatoes, basil,eggplant in two 3X3 grow boxes. I use the flexible hoops and row cover withit so I can get an early start. The hoops fit perfectly in them. The only issue I have with the grow boxes is that the connecting brackets break very easly, the hook like part is not as durable as it should be. The photo below shows how well these items work together. Click on the photo to elarge it.

Comments about Grow Beds:

Excellent product. I have it on a concrete patio and I lined it with weed blocker fabric to ensure that the soil remains in it after watering. Just love it. Will be buying a 2nd

Comments about Grow Beds:

I have an enclosed patio and this 3 x 3 raised bed is a perfect fit. I also purchased the liner to keep the soil contained. I used a fence gate as a trellis and planted a kitchen garden. I am a beginner gardener, but the garden is growing beautifully.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I have added a new grow bed to my garden each year because my plants love the depth of soil that keeps their roots warm and toasty. By harvest time I'm crawling under my plants.

Comments about Grow Beds:

My beds are used for intensive gardening. I currently have 4 of the 3'x3' beds. I use them for corn, peppers, tomatoes, potatoes, strawberries, and much more. They overwinter beautifully and hold up to a weed trimmer. The corner covers can pop off. They are easy to replace, and are only cosmetic. They don't effect the integrity of the bed.

I placed all four of my beds on thick grass full of weeds. I only needed to put down a few layers of newspaper and cover it with my soil mix. The newspaper helped suppress, and eventually kill, the grass and weeds. Then I assume it decomposed and allowed roots to penetrate the native soil. I've had two of my beds for 3 years. The other two for 2 years, and I have never had a problem with grass or weeds in the beds.

There is slight bowing of the sides once soil is placed in the bed. My concern would be that their 3'x6' would bow even farther which would worry me. I haven't owned the 3x6 so.....

Overall this is an excellent product for those that want an attractive, less expensive option for a raised bed. If I had some spare cash I would love to have another one....or two.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I only wanted 3'x3' beds so these frames were perfect--reasonably priced and deep enough for everything I plan to grow. They were easy to assemble and sturdier than I expected. I look forward to using them for many years.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I bought four 3'sq. beds. One for each of my kids (now age 4 & 5), and two for me to garden. I found them great for the kids to be able to access them and plant, weed, decorate. They drain well and are easy to maintain. Unfortunately, the corners are held together with plastic pins that slide through holes in the boards. Some of the holes broke apart right away, and some over time. We are going on our third season with these beds, and each spring, more corners are broken.

I'm starting my garden for the first time this year in raise bed.Let you know how I feel late on.

I have enjoyed using this product and it has held up through two seasons so far!

Comments about Grow Beds:

You'll need a drill to put the 4x6 bed together. But if a 66 year old grandma can do it, you can do it too!!

Comments about Grow Beds:

I've used several of these beds and keep looking for places to set up another one! I get a great yield from them. For example, I harvested 20 lbs of sweet potatoes from one last summer, and that's in New England where sweet potatoes can be tricky!

Comments about Grow Beds:

Perfect for my vegetable garden. Makes it easy to blend the right amount of soils and additives to the box. Simple to keeps weeds controlled without chemicals. The black color blends nicely with my black wrought iron arbours and trellises. I plan to add more.

Comments about Grow Beds:

Great garden solution for a small back yard and lots of tree roots.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I grow just about everything in these now. They're easy to assemble and voila, there's another raised bed ready for soil and plants or seeds. Easy to change their location too if desired. I just love them.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I love it--I bought 2 about 4 years ago and bought this 3rd one to convert my son's outgrown sand box to another grow bed. It's perfect for my small side yard. The black plastic helps retain heat and moisture for our short growing season in the mountains.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I purchased 2 6'Foot and 1 3"Foot grow bed to place in my landscaping for planting vegetables. They were very easy to assemble and I have planted a fall garden with collards, swiss chard and califlower. I planted onions and garlic around the outside with Mums that make the beds look attractive. The quality of the product is very good and I am anxious to see how they winter.

We had a rain of several days with the total for one day of over 4" and they drained real well. The plants are growing well and I should be eating from the plants in a week or so.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I have a small pocket of a backyard and don't have room for a real vegetable garden. These beds are the perfect solution. They are light and easy to snap together and look like they will wear well. Not as attractive as wooden beds but way cheaper and they won't rot in the damp Houston climate.

Comments about Grow Beds:

Great product

Comments about Grow Beds:

The sides bulge out and this is not attractive. Stiffening is needed to prevent this

Comments about Grow Beds:

I bought one last year and ordered another for the fall season garden. I am very happy with my raised beds as they allow me to use organic soil and have good crops that our family enjoys. It's so nice to go out back and pick lunch or dinner items and know they haven't had pesticides on them.

Comments about Grow Beds:

[...]. Easy installation. Completed project in just a couple of hours (ordered two beds). After 5 days, seedlings are establishing and even have some vegetables sprouting - we can only garden in the winter down here. Can't wait to see how the garden does over the next two months.

Comments about Grow Beds:

My first season with these grow beds was a huge success. I love that they drain so well (but not TOO well) and were fairly easy to set up. I am looking forward to seeing how they winter over, and starting again in the spring.

We are using the 3x6 foot bed close to our home for leafy vegetables, beets, radishes and carrots. It looks great and easy to manage.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I use this for vegetable gardeing and bought one more of the 3x3 size to put a rhododendron in it and some small perinials or annuals with it.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I grow vegetables in the mini grow beds. I bought three more to put some perenial flowers in them. It gives the garden a neat a clean enviornment

Comments about Grow Beds:

I have three 3x3 grow beds. I used one for peas and carrots, and the other ones were used for sweet potatoes and zucchini. I like that the raised bed have a ten inches of planting depth. There is plenty of room for my root crops. And the zucchini grow like a weed. It really is a good product and I highly recommend this raised bed to everyone.

Comments about Grow Beds:

Easy to assemble and its compact size is perfect for a modest addition of flowering plants in the garden. So far, a black-eyed susan, borage, and hyssop are sharing the space well and will hopefully bring some pollinators to the yard.

Comments about Grow Beds:

This product is easy to assemble, although predrilled holes would make it even easier to put together. We currently have 3 beds with vegatables. The raised beds make it easier to weed and care for the plants.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I got a late start this year, so only put in some summer squash and beans...but I love how easy this bed is to use and maintain! Raised beds have become my favorite way to garden, this particular raised bed makes life alot easier all around! I'll be buying more!

Comments about Grow Beds:

For the 3 x 6 size, you get 2 3 x 3 beds with a panel to screw into the sides to connect them for the 6' measurement. So you have to mark the spots for the screws, then drill holes. In case you've never had the pleasure of drilling a hole in this hard polyresin, it's not easy. Once you've drilled the holes, you put the panel in place and secure it with the screws. The rest of the assembly went without incident, but I was not prepared for this time & energy using first step. Be nice if they made 6' sides or at least made the connection of 2 3' panels easier.

Comments about Grow Beds:

We've put in 4 of these, and all 4 are doing well. We like the fact that the content is recycled material and that it's fairly easy to assemble. Attractive too. Only problem was with one we left out in the sun before filling with soil. The sides went slightly concave as a result. Still, no big deal. Doesn't detract from the beautiful results in happy, healthy vegetables.

Comments about Grow Beds:

The mini bed is the prefect size for me because I live in an apartment and I have the mini bed in the backyard. I love it!

We bought the original version a few years ago and the corner joints are virtually one piece after assembly. However, the quality has gone way down hill. Instead of the large solid connecting points of the original's design, the current versions use small, flimsy connections with an even flimsier decorative cover. The original design could also be used at other connecting angles, whereas the current design doesn't work if the angles aren't exactly 90 degrees (and even then it doesn't work well). However, the current design will work if you take time to modify it with short sections of re-bar and duct tape. I would only recommend this product in its current version with full disclosure of the shortcomings.

Bottomline:

Please bring back the original design, Gardeners.

Oh, joining 2 3'x3' beds into 1 3'x9'bed, gives you an additional 9 sq. ft.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I bought this bed a couple of years ago but never had the time or place to assemble, so this is my first year of use and I will definitely buy at least one more. The drilling necessary was a bit of a shock - I actually had to go and buy a drill and accessories. Otherwise, assembly was easy, even for a petite older lady. The bed looks great and has produced some very edible hot peppers and tomatoes already.

Comments about Grow Beds:

Great size for small area in backyard to help transplants grow or to plant a few vegetable plants for a small garden plot.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I have converted my vegetable patch to all raised beds now and I love them. Taking care of the beds is far easier on my back and legs than digging in the ground. I have far fewer weeds and the plants grow to extraordinary heights and produce abundantly.

Comments about Grow Beds:

This worked great in conjuction with a landscape fabric/weed barrier. I was able to plant vegetables and herbs with great success.

Comments about Grow Beds:

Ease to assemble. Simple to fill. I can water just what needs to be watered. The raised bed also makes weeding easier, I don't have to bend over so much.

Comments about Grow Beds:

Works really well with a mulch fabric/plastic.

Comments about Grow Beds:

makes gardening nice and neat. keeps weeds down.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I've had 2 growbeds for over 3 years, and they hold up very well here in Utah, in our sunny hot summers and snowy winters. I got them for raised-bed vegetable plots and they work very well. Recently I had a low brick edging put in, so I have raised beds around the perimeter of my yard - so I converted the growbeds to edging along our fences, to protect the fenceposts from rot. A very versatile product, well worth the money.

Comments about Grow Beds:

Now even I gan grow my salad in a small townhouse back yard.

Comments about Grow Beds:

These are wonderful, no maintence, made from recycled plastic, easy to set up and look nice in the yard.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I purchased two of the 3'x3' raised beds three years ago and they are working fine for my tomatoes,veggies and marigolds. A simple rot free answer to raised bed gardening. They are indestructable. I would highly recommend this product.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I bought two 3x6 and two 3x3 beds to set up my first raised bed garden. I don't think black plastic is the most attractive option, but I like that they will last and won't be subject to rot or termites. Because we have lots of gophers around, I drilled holes around the bottom edges and used plastic ties to attach 1/2" hardware cloth to the bottoms. I found the beds fairly easy to assemble, though, as others have pointed out, the 3x6's require some drilling. The beds bow out a bit when filled, but not enough to concern me. The corner covers are a bit tricky, and one broke when I tried to attach it.

Comments about Grow Beds:

Perfect for square foot gardening!

Comments about Grow Beds:

I use one 6x3 bed for vegetables and one 3x3 bed for blueberries. Can amend soil in one box for a variety. For both boxes together it took 27 bags of 1 cubic soil. How nice though to not hit rock when planting, to work with good soil, to place the beds for ideal growing conditions, under the roof eaves which protects them from hail damage. And best of all, it puts the fun back in gardening, saves time and a lot of work for those who are too busy or the elderly, people who love gardening and miss home grown food but for whatever reason can't or don't have a big garden. I am very pleased.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I bought grow beds this year to begin a small square foot garden. I've been very pleased with them! They weren't too hard to put together. I do suggest that you have someone help you put them together and lay the pieces flat when you begin to assemble it.

Once assembled, you may think the grow beds are flimsy, but once you fill them with soil, they work beautifully. My garden looks fantastic and best of all, the grow beds have been able to withstand the blistering heat in my area.

I would certainly purchase these again!

Comments about Grow Beds:

Very nice grow beds. I have four of these now, and they are about the least expensive and quickest option. The only tricky part of the assembly is drilling the holes to connect the halves. It would be nice if they were pre-drilled.

Comments about Grow Beds:

The 3 x 6 bed is a 3 x 3 bed with 2 extenders. So you have to connect 2 3' pieces by drilling holes and bolting a connector panel into place to get the 6' sides. I am taking a break from doing this, because my drill was not charged and drilling through this plastic stuff is not easy. Once I get the sides assembled, I think the remainder of set-up will be easy, because the corners slip into place with rods through them and then snap-on (I hope) corners. I wish they'd designed it with rods and snap-on pieces for the sides, too. Or even better, designed 6' sides.

Comments about Grow Beds:

This product requires you to remove your lawn as it does not include a liner of any kind. It is extremely flimsy and required the purchase of additional materials to provide support to maintain its shape. Overall, a huge disappointment and I wouldn't recommend this product.

Comments about Grow Beds:

the fastest and easiest way to expand my garden quickly. A little overpriced and not so pretty but love them.

Comments about Grow Beds:

Creates the perfect growing environment at a reasonablevcost!

Comments about Grow Beds:

I'm sure the 3 foot by 3 foot works best. The 6 foot by 3 foot is MUCH harder to assemble-requires drilling holes and clamping and elevation on saw horses and a support-too hard to assemble in place and the ends then break easily when moved. If the side pieces of the 6 foot by 3 foot were easier to assemble and take apart, then it would be much better.

Comments about Grow Beds:

This product appealed to me because I wanted a well-organized way to grow a small garden for my family. We have a small yard and the 3x6 raised bed is a good size to grow the vegetables we think we'll enjoy, as well as sample a bit of gardening before we become more enthusiastic.

Comments about Grow Beds:

this is to replace a bed i've had for two years snowplow broke the side of the original raised beds are so fun

Comments about Grow Beds:

I can't say much more about the product because it does exactly what I needed it for. It protects my house from water getting to it so I can grow part shade and part sun garden plants. Such as lettuce, brussel sprouts, some herbs and swiss chard, spinach and parsley. In Orland, California we have very hot summers and the NORTH WIND BLOWS something terrible. I needed something to protect my plants as well as my house while growing them and these grow beds are just the ticket. Thank you. Best Wishes Always Lynn Millar-Head

Comments about Grow Beds:

It's the perfect size for an herb garden.
It snapped together in no time and was light enough to move around until I found just the right spot for it (next to the rhubarb).

Comments about Grow Beds:

We needed a raised bed with our heavy clay soil. This product was easy to set up and easy to fill with soil. The only problem I had was moving the
assembled 3 X 6 bed to a different location. It seemed a little flimsy, but it did not break or bend. I was easily able to put it back together. We are very happy and realize we need another!

Comments about Grow Beds:

I've used these for many years. I bought two, then added several more. These have held up all this time. Yes, the sides might bow a little depending on the circumstances, but not enough to create a problem. Very versatile as to where you place them. Highly recommend.

Comments about Grow Beds:

good and useful for my kitchen garden, and bought one more

Comments about Grow Beds:

Like the size and height. Just a little flimsey and needed a drill for assembly to put on side suppports.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I'm pleased with this product so far. It went together easily and seems fairly sturdy (even though 2 sides are bowing slightly). It holds a lot more than I thought it would. I have lettuce, spinach, radishes, green onions and herbs in a 3x3 bed and they are thriving.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I have several of these including the 3x6 foot version which I don't recommend at all since the sides bend easily with the weight of the dirt or potting soil within. Utilitarian but not pretty though the price is pretty reasonable. I have very rocky soil so I use these and containers to grow things.

Comments about Grow Beds:

The 3'X6' raised bed looks good in the catolog but is poorly designed. The corner caps are flimsy and easy to knock off. [...]. The sides bow out when full. Do yourself a favor [...]

Comments about Grow Beds:

I'm just beginning a square foot vegetable garden and so far it's working out wonderfully. The 3x3 is the perfect size to start out. I hope my green thumb continues and I'll need to expand - which is very easy to do with this product as well.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I now have 9 of these raised planters. They work great.Easy to assemble. All my vegetables are raised in them.

Comments about Grow Beds:

Well, I haven't filled it with dirt yet so it's hard to say how it will perform. It was easy to assemble and looks as if it will hold up for years.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I enjoy gardening but don't have hours and hours to invest. These grow beds make gardening manageable and enjoyable.

Comments about Grow Beds:

loved it when it came. We filled it 3/4 of the way with dirt. After 1 day the sides began to bow and the corners are separating. It doesn't seem like there is too much dirt in it but sides needed staked to re-inforce

Comments about Grow Beds:

Strawberries are doing great in this grow bed.

Comments about Grow Beds:

LOVE LOVE LOVE these! I purchased a 3 X 3 and 3 X 6 last year and they held up well over the last year!! Very durable and easy to assemble!

Comments about Grow Beds:

I use these little beds for potatoes,It could't be easier and produces a good harvest.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I gave it 4 stars because I believe it's too expensive for what it is: four large pieces of plastic. I checked "difficult to assemble" because the corner pegs came pre-installed, making it impossible to assemble unless I banged out the pegs with a hammer. I had to wait several days to get ahold of an "expert advisor" at Gardener's to get permission to do this. I didn't want to be held responsible in case I broke anything by hammering. (As it turned out, the pegs came out easily.)

Comments about Grow Beds:

We love our growbed. The tomatoes and peppers we planted seem to love it too. The raised bed, as well as the black plastic mulch we used as cover, have given us a decided jump on the growing season.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I have had gardens as a child and have done some container gardening in apartments before, but this is my first serious garden in the first backyard I have ever owned.

Other than having to locate where my husband put my drill, and all the soil I had to go get to fill the grown bed, it was pretty easy to set up. I am very happy with it and my plants are doing great.

Comments about Grow Beds:

My yard has only 2-4 inches of soil over solid rock so I bought two of these raised garden beds to try to grow a wider variety of vegetables. They went together in seconds, look great, and now have healthy crops of carrots, onions, lettuce and cucumbers growing in them. I got a tall insect cover for one and a low cover for the other, and they slip on easily. I highly recommend these products!

Comments about Grow Beds:

I love this product, and am using it as an herb garden and also for lettuce. I bought the net cover that fits over the box, and wish that it was a bit more sturdy, as in keeping out pesky intruders. I had a rabbit that chewed holes in the sides to get at the goodies inside, and eventually taped the sides with duct tape, consequently I have now ordered a new net. I would like the net to be more substantial on the sides, more pest proof! Otherwise anyone that sees it in my garden loves it!

Comments about Grow Beds:

After wanting your Grow Bed for over three years I finially I got one and I am very happy with it. I hope to buy a second one soon.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I use these grow beds for my vegetable garden. I started out with three and now have six 3 x 6 and four mini grow beds. They are great, easy to assemble and are very attractive in the garden. I plan to add more in the fall.

Comments about Grow Beds:

The flimsy construction will never hold up through a NY winter. Very flimsy

Comments about Grow Beds:

Use the product for our garden vegetables. Was easy to assemble. Plenty of room for peppers, cukes, and squash plants. Lot less work than digging and planting in conventional garden. Thanks for a great product.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I have horrible clay soil, so using a raised bed to grow vegetables is the only solution. This bed was pretty easy to assemble, except I would recommend pre-drilled holes where you add extensions. I like that it's tough material that can stand up to the weather. The sides do bow out slightly from the weight of the soil, but not so much as to affect the efficiency of the product. Overall, I would buy this again.

Comments about Grow Beds:

We purchased the 3x3 frame and planted three tomato plants, 1 cucumber and parsley and basil about 3 weeks ago. The plants are thriving. tomato plants already are in flower. Will probably purchase another frame next year!

Comments about Grow Beds:

Easy to put together, price is reasonable, makes planning much faster

Comments about Grow Beds:

I have used these grow beds for a few years now. They hold up well, some times they do need a little extra support for the sides as the compost can cause the sides to bow out. They survive the harsh winters with snow and ice as I do not take them down and on a few occasions they sometimes get plowed into and snow and ice gets thrown on them. I add one or two each year.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I have had the same one for 3 years. Loved the product so much and now I have 4 3X3, 1 6X3 and 2 1.5X3.We designed our front yard land scaping around them as part of edible landscaping/home stead farming. Neighbors loved them so much now they are growing their own veggies!!!!

I also love how it reuses recycled plastic!!!!!

Comments about Grow Beds:

I have two 3'x3' beds like this one and I love them. Everything grows really well in them -- so far I grew kale, lettuce, peas, beans, and garlic with excellent results. So I decided to get an additional, larger bed. What was not clear from the description in the catalog, that this bed comes with an extension kit, and to assemble it I needed an electrical drill. This was not specified in the catalog, and I don't have a drill and have no need to buy it. So I assembled the bed the best I could without extension panels and using two wooden poles in place of two missing plastic pegs. It worked, although I had to prop up longer side panels in the middle so they wouldn't bulge out.

Comments about Grow Beds:

This bed is great for a small garden like mine. I had two 3'x3' beds of this kind for two years now, and I love them! Everything grows real well in them. This mini-bed is a nice addition. I will grow cukes in it.

Comments about Grow Beds:

It is too expensive.

Comments about Grow Beds:

Just bought these this season, so I'd have to get back to you all next year for a better review. So far, for the price, this is good stuff. Be careful when you're filing it though because my 3x9 setup bowed a bit in the center and messed up my eye lines and with all those cubic yards in there - there's no fixing that bow easily. Nice and deep enough, you can make them to fit most any space and grow, grow, grow!

Comments about Grow Beds:

Good beginning for a small gardener.

Comments about Grow Beds:

easy to get assemble, great for new gardeners

Comments about Grow Beds:

We purchased five grow beds to start a community garden in our townhouse association. The board was willing to approve space because the beds were so attractive. Easy assembly got us off to a great start. I'm so glad we decided to go with grow beds.

Comments about Grow Beds:

This was easy to put together but seems a tad flimsy. The sides bulge out a little when we filled it with dirt. The 3 x 6 is a very nice size. I bought two and that seems like the right amount of garden space for two people. Hope they hold up for many years.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I bought the 3X6 bed. I was disappointed that assembly requires me to drill into the middle connections to secure two 3X3 beds together. I expected to be able to assemble without doing that. I wish you would refine the design so that it doesn't require extra tools to assemble.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I started out with one of these, along with a low 3x3 pop net, and just loved it. It looks great, it's just the right height, and the cover fits perfectly. Got nothing from compliments from my friends. I liked them so much I bought 4 more for my 'potager' garden.

Comments about Grow Beds:

This raised bed was so easy to put together and was super easy to fill with dirt I got off craigslist "free" column. The garden looks great and it was much easier that trying to till my rocky, claylike, Colorado soil.

Comments about Grow Beds:

This is so perfect for protecting my peppers against the ravages of little dogs who like to dig in the garden and hopefully against rabbits who like to nip off the blossoms. I purchased the tall net covering as well... it all fits together perfectly!

Comments about Grow Beds:

Very nice but extensions were difficult to drill holes and assemble.

Comments about Grow Beds:

Just put it together and still waiting to plant due to living in Zone 4. Plan on growing veggies and its a perfect size for us! I may want to purchase another one if this works for us!

Comments about Grow Beds:

We bought 3 of them and are using them to grow a vegetable garden, they are attractive and have enough room to grow all we plan to do. They were easy to handle and we love them.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I have a narrow space in my side yard that would not accommodate wider grow beds. The Mini-Grow Bed is absolutely perfect for this spot. I love the size, shape, and composition. It is very important to me to use an eco-friendly product that does not deteriorate. It also was easy put together with the directions supplied. I couldn't be happier!

Comments about Grow Beds:

This grow bed was a perfect solution for our yard. It is helping us to maximize the limited area of full sun that we have.
One thing...I found in assembling that it was easier to place the corner cover after inserting the pin, not before.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I am a lifelong gardener and decided to go to grow beds this year because I thought that they would be easier to weed. I like the height of the box and they were easy to assemble, but I was expecting a thicker plastic...something more like a board than a sheet. Once filled with dirt, the sides bowed out. The end cap that covers the corner has already popped off a couple of times. I would probably go with the galvanized or solid wood beds if I were doing it again.

Comments about Grow Beds:

Great idea but corners keep popping off. Left them out all winter and they held up well. Like the 3x3 better then the 3x6 because the connectors are weak.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I am a first-time veggie gardner. This was east to set up and looks like it will be perfect for my uses.

Comments about Grow Beds:

i have these tucked in small areas one with strawberry's and vegetable plants

Comments about Grow Beds:

I bought the Square Foot Gardening book and was so excited I couldn't wait. I live in a condo now and there is very limited space, let alone a space that has both sunshine and dirt.
The reviews on here were convincing; I liked the material, and the price affordable. I liked that the material is somewhat flexible as the area is at a bit of an angle, so it allowed me to 'shape' it just a little whereas a wooden one would not.
It was easy to put together but I do agree that it sometimes pooches out a bit or the corners come away some, but I'm so excited and determined that I don't really care much.
I used wooden dowels held together by wire that I wrapped around and laid it on top for my 'grid'. It will suffice.
Already little greenies are poking through the soil so we'll see what happens!

Comments about Grow Beds:

I put together the 3'X6' bed.I t did not take too long but I did not know before hand that you needed to drill holes for the bolts. It would be easier if the connecting plate was pre-drilled.

I have it filled with lettuce, spinach, radishes and onions. Doing well so far. Seeds actually germinated in 5 days (that was probably the soil and the gardener!)

Comments about Grow Beds:

Bought these grow beds for flowers, and planted vegetables instead. I have tomato kits and grow heirloom tomatoes. We live on a rock and gardening was a challenge. . .not now!

Comments about Grow Beds:

Great place to teach my 3 year old grandson how to plant a vegetable garden.

Comments about Grow Beds:

Great for Veggies! Gets a serious head start on the growing season since the soil is workable earlier, and the black sides help the soil heat up sooner. It also dries out sooner, so you need to keep an eye out, especially when seeds are germinating.

Comments about Grow Beds:

worked great for my herb garden needed something for a small area

Comments about Grow Beds:

using this for a garden for my kids. Easy to put together and just the right height for them.

Comments about Grow Beds:

Using the bed for a vegetable garden

Comments about Grow Beds:

I thought that the height was perfect, but now think that 2" shorter would be better, since the sides are buckling.

Comments about Grow Beds:

So excited about finally having a real vegetable garden. Our soil is TERRIBLE, so my gardening friends told me raised beds were the way to go. I bought 2 of the 3x6 grow beds and actually linked them together in an L shape. (An extra metal bar connector would have come in handy, but we just drove in a few stakes on the outside to provide some extra support.) There is nothing stunningly attractive about the look of the black sides, but neither is it an eyesore. Once the plants have filled in, it should look great. I think the beds are a great value for the price.

Comments about Grow Beds:

My grow bed is all set up and planted and looks like it will hold up well. My only issue with assembly had to do with the corner covers...for the life of my I can't get the last one on. But this doesn't seem to affect anything except the appearance.

Comments about Grow Beds:

haven't had time to see what it can do.

Comments about Grow Beds:

Looks nice and seems sturdy, looking forward to this growing season to see how it holds up.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I've had these for at least 5 years. They're still standing in the same great shape as originally installed. I use them for my vegetable garden. I have, all together, 4 raised beds (1-3x6; 2-3x3; 1-18"x36") made from this product. If you are a DIY homeowner, then it doesn't get any easier than this! Take it from a single, senior, homeowner... I live in a suburban neighborhood with feral cat colonies and growing vegetables was a challenge trying to prevent them from digging and destroying the crops. Doing this and covering them with 2 sheets of fabric mulch keeps them out of the patches and keeps my veggies clean, roots hydrated and soil warm. People are amazed at how much I grow. I raise eggplants, 3 kinds of tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, salad & beet greens and, of course, basil.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I found the grow bed easy to assemble. It looks attractive and is not at all flimsy. I filled it with a mixture of blended compost, peat moss and vermiculite. I planted two heirloom tomatoes and three sweet peppers. I finished the border with marigolds.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I liked the fact that I could take down the
beds but I wish they were a little sturdier.

Comments about Grow Beds:

This the second grow bed that I have ordered from you. They are a great solution to terrible soil and limited spaces with enough sun. The sides tend to bow out a little, but it doesn't seem to make a functional difference.

Comments about Grow Beds:

Great product - easy to assemble. Easy to move to right space & had great capacity!!

Comments about Grow Beds:

I like the bed except one of the corner covers broke when I was putting it together. I am still not clear on the best way to install those pieces - a revision to instructions might be in order.
I am looking forward to seeing how much is actually produced. I used the Gardeners Supply planner which was fun - I like the ability to print the plan to remember what's planted where.

Comments about Grow Beds:

this is my 1st grow bed that is all mine, it was easy enough to assemble, but as i was placing it into the ground, i realized that it is a little flimsy. but once it's filled with soil it is golden.

so far so good, and i love that if i move, i can empty it and take it with me.

Comments about Grow Beds:

i live in an area with sand and clay, no real good dirt for gardening. The raised beds allow me to not only have a garden, but since you add all the dirt you can ensure that it is all organic.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I have a regular garden, but invested in a 3x3 raised bed to try some new vegetables: leaf lettuce, red onions, and radishes. They are growing beautifully. The Gardener's Online planner was an easy tool to use with this product. Give it a try!

Comments about Grow Beds:

So easy to put together and I finally found a place that will let me grow cilantro.

Comments about Grow Beds:

There's plenty of room for small plants like lettuces, and I'll see how well it works for Swiss chard and spinach. It's easy to water--I know right where the water is going and it isn't wasted. I'm using this in conjuction with the mesh cover (another review) and it seems to be keeping out the rabbits and deer, especially good news as the plants are very young and tender.

Comments about Grow Beds:

Last year I bought two of the mini grow beds. I planted lima beans in them,which did very well. This year I bought two of the 3 x 3 grow beds. I used black liner underneath of them to keep weeds from growing. Hey, Gardeners Supply--how about a cold frame for the 3 x3 grow beds? I am anxious to get started planting.

Comments about Grow Beds:

The product was very easy to put together until I needed to drill on the sides and had to ask for help. It doesn't say that part when you read about it.

Other than that...I am waiting for my peas and lettuce to do their thing!

Comments about Grow Beds:

So far I love this grow bed. It is big and holds a lot of soil. The material is sturdy and the bed is very easy to build. I think it is easier to build if you have two people and do the drilling for the extension bar before you put the whole thing together.

Comments about Grow Beds:

This small 3' x 3' garden bed is the basis for my current vegetable garden, with six beds -- two 18' long, three 15' long, and one 12' long. Four of these are double deep too. These garden beds just need some side support -- 3' metal stakes outside each joint and (for double deep beds) a stake in between the joints to give more side support. Additionally, I add some metal flashing inside each joint and inside each corner to minimize soil leakage. This makes a very viable rasied bed garden on more than a mini-scale. Having purchased 33 of the beds so far, I anticipate doing more when I make all beds double deep. Yes, it's a lot of work at first, and the sides do bend a little, but it sure makes great capacity and much less bending down over the double deep raised beds.

Comments about Grow Beds:

I bought a 3X3 and 3X6 bed. A power drill was required for the 3X6 but wasn't mentioned in the description. The 3X3 was a snap to put together, but I don't have a drill. I had to wait for a friend to come over and drill holes in the side of the bed before I could put it together. I wouldn't have bought it had I known.
