Is Your Raised Bed Material Harming Your Garden

    HOUSTON, TX, December 14, 2022 /24-7PressRelease/ -- As the pioneering metal garden bed manufacturer, Vego Garden is never satisfied with the status quo. We strive to continually develop better materials and improve our gardening products so that we are always offering you our best.

One thing that might not always occur to all gardeners is to be considerate of the many parts that help make up your raised bed. Choosing the right paint and materials will not only amplify your garden's beauty, but it can also be the difference between a long lasting, healthy garden, and a weak one. Here's how Vego Garden's Raised Garden Beds will help to promote the longevity of your garden!

All about Our Industry-Leading Paint

Choosing the right paint for your garden bed is incredibly important. If you get it wrong, you could end up with a garden bed that harms your harvest, rather than promoting its growth. The soil, seeds, and fertilizers you grow in are only part of your food's journey. The container you garden in impacts the soil contained within it, and the fruits and vegetables you eat.

The paint we use for our beds is manufactured by AzkoNobel, and is specially formulated for the farming industry. AskoNobel is the world-leading paint manufacturer; a merger between two companies (one of which is owned by and named after chemist Alfred Nobel, after whom the Peace Prize is named).

Material So Clean You Could Eat Off It!

Of course, our paint isn't the only impressive thing about our garden beds! We are tremendously proud to be using the first of material kind in the gardening industry - a Zinc, Magnesium, and Aluminum coated steel.

We have combined this metal with our award-winning AkzoNobel paint to develop a new material which we call VZ 2.0. The first material of its kind, VZ 2.0's exceptional performance has been verified at the Texas A&M National Corrosion & Materials Reliability Lab.

VZ 2.0 is a highly corrosion-resistant steel substrate, hot-dip-coated in a specialized layer of Zinc, Aluminum, and about 3% Magnesium. While Aluzinc is quite impervious, the addition of Magnesium to this formula revolutionizes the metal's ability to resist corrosion, especially on cut or raw edges.

Over time as a cut edge of the metal is exposed, the Zinc and Magnesium work together to form a protective film, sealing the exposed steel substrate and protecting it from rust and corrosion. VZ 2.0 combines durable metal researched at Texas A&M with USDA certified paint to make garden beds so clean you could eat off of them. What better place to grow your food!
