Vegetalot - Frequently Asked Questions
Can a Vegetalot be left
outdoors in winter?
Yes, that is no problem. Basically it can resist all kinds of weather.
Is there a base in the raised bed garden?
No, the bed has no base closed. This is a great advantage since it
makes over watering impossible.
Can the Vegetalot be placed in a windy position?
Yes, it is designed to resist even the strongest of winds.
Must there be soil in the whole bed?
Yes, the bed must be filled with soil
Can strawberries be grown in the raised bed
garden?
Yes, and it is a very good way of doing so. One gets strawberries at
least a couple of weeks earlier if the bed is covered in plastic. But
remember! When strawberries flower, both the plastic and the netting
should be opened a little to let the bees in to pollinate, or you won't
have any strawberries.
What is the best time of the year to set up the
Vegetalot?
It can be set up at any time. It can be a really good idea to set it up
in the autumn while the weather is still settled, and then you are
ready in February when it is often a good time to plant pre-sprouted
potatoes despite the risk of night frosts. If the raised bed garden is
set up at the
beginning of August, one still has time to harvest lettuce and many
other delicious vegetables.
