Model Rachael Finch and her two kids are currently growing spinach, kale, a variety of lettuce, cauliflower, carrots, radish and strawberries in their own Vegepod.
‘A constant supply of organic fruits and vegetables. I’ve been wanting to install a Vegepod our balcony for ages. Today it happened. This is the type of stuff that makes me smile from ear the ear,’ she wrote on Instagram.
She spent $449 on a large raised garden bed with a VegeCover and $189 for the stand. To set up her garden, she bought soil, perlite potting mix and plants.
And she’s not the only one impressed with the Vegepod.
Thousands of shoppers have been able to grow almost everything in their Vegepods, including herbs, lettuce, carrots, zucchini, beetroot, potatoes and even tomatoes.
