The 1.8m Classic VegTrug has a large capacity and requires approximately 420 litres of compost to fill it to the recommended level. Is the wood treated and safe for growing edible vegetables? Yes. The VegTrug is treated with a water-based, food-safe preservative. It is specifically designed for growing edible crops, ensuring no harmful chemicals leak into your soil. Does it come with a liner? Yes, every VegTrug Classic includes a custom-fitted, greenhouse-grade fabric liner. This liner is biodegradable over time but is designed to last several seasons, keeping the soil in place while allowing for excellent drainage. Can I use the VegTrug on a balcony or rooftop? Absolutely. Its sturdy, stable design makes it perfect for hard surfaces like balconies, patios, and courtyards. However, please ensure your balcony can support the weight of the unit when filled with wet compost (approx. 200kg+). How long will the wood last? With the initial treatment, the VegTrug is designed for longevity. To maximise its lifespan, we recommend retreating the exterior wood once a year with a water-based, animal-and-vegetable-safe wood preservative. Is it easy to assemble?
