The Veg Trug has been one of the  stellar successes in the grow-your-own boom in recent years – the product has becoming a best-seller in four years from a standing start and set the standard for patio raised beds. Now, the original wooden version have a smart new sister product – the Aluminium Veg Trug, seen for the first time at Glee.

It’s pictured here on the balcony of a London terrace – one example of the kind of location for which the new product has huge sales potential. 

Other new products catching the eye of retail visitors during the show include metal trellis supports that create vertical ‘growing tubes’ to increase the Veg Trug’s scope for growing taller veg.
