Which suits you

Vego

Vego suits a bed you want in many sizes and heights: its beds here run 17 to 32 in, including elevated planters and a wood-look finish.

Vegega

Vegega suits the same modular layouts with a longer warranty: its beds here run 11 to 32 in, and Vegega says 80 to 90% of a bed’s capacity is enough soil.

This compares what makers publish and what extension services say. It is not a test of any bed.
