Has anyone used a Wilko Angled Raised Bed? Are they any good and what did you grow in them?

    There are 24 reviews on Wilko's web site, some of them quite critical.


    How many more do you want?

    I couldn't find anything on the Wilko website. That was why I asked. Can you tell me where I can find these reviews?

    Er... having Googled Wilko hanging raised bed to find out what you were talking about, I found this page https://www.wilko.com/en-uk/wilko-angled-raised-bed/p/0446062 that describes them ...... and gives reviews at the bottom!

    Without having read the reviews, I can't see how that would work. The pockets aren't deep enough. The compost would run out. How would you water sufficiently?

    Nope sorry I wouldn't buy one.

    Hmmm... I've never believed the official version of 9/11, and I'm sceptical that some moon landing photos were taken at the time and location claimed, but Wilko seem to be right out on their own here in denying the effects of gravity! :rotfl:

    Looks like something that would be punted on "Dragons' Den", and now "they're out"

    .... as is the compost, the roots, and the plants!

    Space-saving? It looks like the frame occupies more ground area than the suspended plants... trendy, but utter carp!

    Thank you all for the constructive comments. I have looked at the page recommended and the reviews. I bought one of these for next to nothing in their sale and will try it out over the winter.
