Description
The Zest 1m Veg Bed has a manger style design and is ideal for gardens with small spaces or for those wanting to start growing their own produce.
The 1m Veg Bed can hold up to a maximum of 225 litres of compost. It's raised to protect your crops from pests, as well as to enable you to work without the need to stoop or bend.
Looking after your Veg Bed is very important. Before filling, ensure there is sufficient drainage to prevent waterlogging as this can damage your crops and put excessive strain on the structure. Place the veg bed on a firm and level surface for best results.
During the winter months, the veg bed should be emptied and stored inside. However, if unable to do this use a breathable cover. If there is any significant snowfall, always ensure you remove from the top of your veg bed as it can damage the structure and shorten its lifespan.

Delivery
Overview
The Zest Veg Bed 1m is delivered from central UK stocks held by Zest4Leisure. Depending on product size, one of two established carriers will undertake home delivery.
Vehicle
Typically, a 7.5 ton lorry will deliver. This will reach most locations an average car can. On occasion, a smaller 3.5 ton vehicle may be used for smaller items.
Access
Unloading will take place at the kerb-side or onto your adjacent driveway. Vehicles will not leave the public highway. A driver may be willing to carry the goods into your garden at their own discretion. Goods cannot be carried through your home, therefore if necessary please arrange some extra help privately.
Free Delivery
This product benefits from a free delivery service within mainland England, Wales and Southern Scotland. The above postcode checker will confirm this for you.
Delivery Period
Delivery will typically be made within the period quoted on this product. For larger products, the carrier will call and book in a convenient delivery date. For smaller products, a delivery date will be provided by email from the carrier, which will include a reference to allow online tracking.
Extended Delivery
Less frequently serviced locations may be subject to an extended delivery period of up to an additional 7 days. These distant locations include the Scottish Highlands.
Offshore Delivery
Zest4Leisure deliver across mainland Great Britain. Therefore, for this product we are unable to service; Isle of Wight, Isle of Man, Channel Islands, Northern Ireland and all of the Scottish Islands.
Distant Surcharge
Due to additional delivery zone fees, certain Scottish Highlands locations (Zone B) can only be serviced at a distant surcharge (at cost). The above post code checker can confirm if a surcharge will apply.
These locations include:
Zone B = Scottish Highlands (AB, IV, KW, FK19-21, PA36, PA38-40, PH17-26, PH30-41) at £14.99
For a limited range of bulky and/or extra-heavy products (gazebos and large furniture sets) to Zone B, the employment of a dedicated carrier at considerable additional cost is necessary. Such products can only therefore be serviced to Zone B locations at a bespoke Zone C rate of at least £149.99*. (*Zone C availability and cost confirmed on order receipt).

Although I have read reviews which said the wood on these vegtrugs was of poor quality, we didn't find that to be the case: it was solid and clean. We started by following the instruction sheet but it proved really difficult to do it that way, so eventually we decided to attach the top sides to the ends first, then the middle sides, then the bottom slat. The wood is very hard, so pre-drilling makes construction a lot quicker and easier. Many holes were pre-drilled, but several were misaligned and required re-drilling in the right places. Assembling the trug without a drill would be nigh on impossible. The legs have to be screwed on from the inside, so pre-drilling holes for those was a bit hit and miss but with some measuring we got there in the end. Make sure you assemble the leg parts the right way round, so it's not standing 'en pointe'. It's a very heavy trug, and is hard to lift once assembled. It doesn't come with a thick plastic sheet lining, so I'll have to get some sheeting and staple-gun that on then puncture the base to provide drainage. I'd say it's strong enough to last at least 5 years, if not longer. It's ideal for my elderly mum, for whom gardening has become difficult, as she can tend her salad crops and herbs without having to bend down.

Quite pleased with the veg bed; I bought it to grow herbs. It is exactly as the description says. You need about three and half bags of compost to fill it; I used empty compost bags to line it. I haven’t had the container long enough to say how durable it will be. Definitely needs two people to put it together. It is also easier to assemble if you have the correct tools; an electric screwdriver would have been an advantage. Would have given it five stars if there had been an option to have the veg bed assembled.
