Planting your vegepod: All you need to know

---

 

Fertilizing your garden can be hard work and a bit messy. But if you have a vegepod, the entire process is quickly and easily done by yourself. The idea behind this product was to make gardening easier for busy people living in small spaces. Let’s see how it works!

 

Maintaining your home garden from here on will never be a task! 

 

What is a vegepod

 

Vegepods are a clever, well-designed, and useful invention that makes growing vegetables a breeze for everyone!

 

Raised beds provide several advantages, like keeping pests away from your vegetables, reducing soil compaction, and offering accessibility for people who find it difficult to grow at ground level. 

 

Vegepods use significantly less soil, extend the growing season and increase plant growth. The produce is protected from pests and severe weather by the commercial-grade cover. This reduces the amount of pesticides you use to almost none.

 

Features of a vegepod

1. Soil protection

Growing success is dependent on the quality of your soil. While caring for soil in direct touch with the ground might take a lot of time and work. Vegepod is enclosed, so you know exactly what’s in it.

 

2. Stop the contamination 

You’ll never have to worry about soil contamination again if you plant in containers. While you can find lead and chemicals in your current in-ground soil, container gardening allows you to keep track of what your soil is exposed to.

 

3. Portable

For renters, simply empty your portable raised vegetable garden and load it onto a truck if you need to relocate. You may also move the Vegepod around by putting the container gardens on castor wheels.

 

4. Easy filling

Vegepod raised garden beds use less than half the amount of potting mix as corrugated steel or raised wood bed of comparable size. Transporting and pouring the potting mix into a bag will be simple.

 

Planting a vegepod: Things to remember

1. Sufficient sunlight 

Make sure the taller plants are toward the rear of the vegepod, whatever direction the sun strikes it when planting in your raised garden. For example, if the light shines directly on the pod, the bushier plants should be at the rear. The taller plants should be towards the far right of the pod if the sun comes in from the left. This allows all of the plants to get as much sunshine as possible throughout the day, and it’s a really smart method to grow your vegetables.

 

Herbs and low-leaf root vegetables should be planted in the front, and taller climbers like cherry tomatoes and beans should be planted in the rear.

 

2. Size matters 

In the vegepod, size is important! That is to say, before planting seeds or punnets, double-check the appropriate plant spacing. Root vegetables, in particular, may require additional room since they can get hefty underground.

 

You may always use the ‘ruthless horticulturalists approach’ if you’re not sure about spacing. This entails scattering a large number of seeds in a certain area and then plucking away the weaker ones as the vegetables emerge to create a place for the strong-looking shoots.
