Hi, Scott! I like to add a new raised bed to my garden each year, but my source of free wood dried up last year, so I have been looking at alternatives, including the Vego system. I ordered a Greenstalk planter for my patio last week and after watching your video and visiting the Vego site again, I went ahead and ordered one. I plan to do much as you did, hugelkultur with old logs and henhouse litter. In zone 6A, I'll be a few months behind you.

The real question is - how long do they last? The wooden bed lasts about 4-5 years until it rots. The cost to build the wooden bed is about $50-60 for 10ft*5ft*12in. Vego's 8ft bed costs $199. That is approximately 12-15 years of wooden beds. Will Vego last 12-15 years at minimum?
