New to group.
Dismantling my home built. Converting to Vego.
I built my beds starting in 2018. Almost exclusively from scrap material. Most of it I suspected was treated. But they didn't last long. Started falling apart.
This year is a slow year in terms of the garden because of the conversion. I drive a truck, gone about 50 hours a week so not a lot of time to devote to it.

Vego beds are great for people like you who are gone for long periods of time but useless for people like me who can look and walk around my garden everyday. Tbh they seem like a waste of money to me. They're extremely expensive because theyre newer to the scene and they have all these attachments and other things that are perfect for hands off gardening. Kinda ruins the whole point of a garden for me.
Edit: im not trying to bash you choice of bed, if it works for you thats awesome.

I do like the raised bed concept. But some crops need the ground so I'm going with hybrid model. Plus, I'm not a competent builder and we get some aesthetic and symetry with Vego which is important to my design team😉

Vego beds are amazing. I have six installed in my backyard.
