Win a V-Gloo Raised Bed gardening system worth £120 Win a V-Gloo Raised Bed gardening system worth £120

Raised Bed gardening is perfect for people interested in "square foot gardening". It requires very little gardening space, in fact it can be done in an area as little as 4ft by 4ft.
The V-gloo offers an ideal planting depth of 30cm, which is sufficient for most plant requirements and with the use of additional sections can be increased to 60cm. This is ideal for those with mobility problems who find bending difficult and for wheel chair users. It’s great for all ages and abilities - and there’s no need to get your feet muddy!
The hollow and robust moulded plastic bed sections - offer increased insulation and heat retention properties over single skin raised beds. and the beds are easy to assemble and dismantle and do not require any tools to put them together - making it easier to move them around the garden according to the season or light requirements of the crops being grown.
The design of the bed system enables the user to add additional sections to make longer beds than the standard 1.2m square bed. The V-gloo comes complete with a mini domed plastic 'greenhouse' - which is made from strong and durable materials and can be placed on or removed from the bed quickly and easily, depending on the season and growing requirements of your crops. The high dome shape enables a wider variety of crops, such as tomatoes, to be grown under cover.
The high dome has 2 zipped openings - for increased access and has a ventilation flap backed by mesh to prevent pests entering.
The standard V-gloo also comes complete with a liner - so it can be placed on to a patio or decking without soil leaching out.
