We provide a number of options, from Veggie Crate only, to DIY packs (with all the ingredients to set it up yourself) or the Little Veggie Patch Co team can come and install and plant out on your behalf. We also offer ‘self watering’ wicking crate options for those that may struggle to find the time to water themselves, or simply want to make the growing process easier.

All veggie crate options can come with castors - given your space is hard and smooth - making them mobile, as well as netting that will keep out a number of seasonal pests.

The care we take to line and reinforce these crates is the key to their longevity and you can expect more than 10 years of loyal service from your Veggie Crate.

There is a 10% discount on all crates when you order 2 or more.

SIZES

Full Crate

Our full sized veggie crates are made from FSC approved, non-treated, 25mm a-grade pine. Measuring 1.16m by 1.16m (0.73m in height), they provide approximately 1.3m2 of growing space - with 30cm planting depth - giving plenty of opportunity to grow and harvest your own vegetables and herbs.

Half Crate

Our half sized veggie crates are made from FSC approved, non-treated, 25mm a-grade pine. Measuring 1.16m by 0.58m (0.73m in height), they provide approximately 0.7m3 of growing space - with 30cm of planting depth - and are designed to give meaningful growing real estate in even smaller spaces. Perfectly suited to balconies, courtyards and narrow passage ways, where a larger veggie crate just isn’t possible.

OPTIONS

Crate only

Lined crate that is fitted with a false bottom, reducing the amount of soil required and preventing the rotting of the base of the crate. The standard false bottom allows for 30cms of soil depth - ideal for all vegetables - however this depth can be customised to suit fruit tree planting if required.

DIY Pack
