4. അസംബ്ലി നിർദ്ദേശങ്ങൾ
Follow these steps carefully to assemble your Vego Garden Self-Watering Rolling Garden Bed.
Step 4.1: Assemble the Rolling Frame
- എല്ലാ ഘടകങ്ങളും അൺപാക്ക് ചെയ്ത് വൃത്തിയുള്ളതും പരന്നതുമായ ഒരു പ്രതലത്തിൽ വയ്ക്കുക.
- Attach the wheels to the rolling frame using the provided fasteners. Ensure wheels are securely tightened and can rotate freely.
Step 4.2: Construct the Garden Bed Walls
- Connect the corrugated metal panels to form the bed walls. Use the provided bolts, nuts, and washers. Do not overtighten initially; allow for slight adjustments.
- Once all panels are connected and the bed shape is formed, progressively tighten all fasteners.
Step 4.3: Install the Wicking Cell System
- Place the wicking cell trays into the bottom of the assembled garden bed. Ensure they fit snugly and cover the entire base.
- Position the wicking cell tops over the trays. These create the surface for your soil and allow water to wick upwards.

5. Operating Your Garden Bed
5.1 Filling with Soil
Once assembled, fill the garden bed with a high-quality potting mix. Ensure the soil level is appropriate for your plants, leaving some space from the top rim. The wicking cell system will draw water up into the soil, so a good quality, well-draining potting mix is crucial.
5.2 Initial Watering
For the first watering, thoroughly saturate the soil from the top until water begins to drain into the wicking cell reservoir. This ensures the soil is fully hydrated and the wicking action is initiated.
5.3 Regular Watering
The self-watering system significantly reduces the need for frequent top watering. Monitor the water level in the reservoir (if visible) or check the soil moisture. Refill the reservoir as needed, typically by pouring water directly into the designated fill points or by watering the soil until the reservoir is replenished. The system is designed to provide consistent moisture to plant roots.

5.4 നടീൽ
Plant your desired vegetables, herbs, or flowers as you would in any raised bed. Consider the mature size of your plants and space them appropriately. The air pruning strips help prevent root circling and promote a healthier root system.
5.5 മൊബിലിറ്റി
The integrated rolling frame allows you to easily move the garden bed. Unlock the wheels if they have a locking mechanism before moving. This feature is particularly useful for optimizing sun exposure or moving plants indoors during adverse weather conditions.
6. പരിപാലനം
- വൃത്തിയാക്കൽ: Periodically clean the exterior of the garden bed with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. For the wicking cell system, it is recommended to clean it thoroughly between growing seasons to prevent mineral buildup and ensure optimal performance.
- ജലസംഭരണി: Ensure the water reservoir remains free of debris that could clog the wicking system.
- Soil Replacement: Over time, soil nutrients deplete. Consider replenishing or replacing the potting mix annually or bi-annually, depending on your planting schedule and plant health.
- ശൈത്യകാല സംഭരണം: If moving indoors for winter, ensure the bed is not overfilled with water to prevent freezing damage. Empty the reservoir if storing in freezing temperatures.
7. പ്രശ്നപരിഹാരം
| പ്രശ്നം | സാധ്യമായ കാരണം | പരിഹാരം |
|---|---|---|
| Plants appear dry despite reservoir having water. | Wicking system clogged or soil not making good contact. | Ensure wicking cells are clear. Top water thoroughly to re-establish capillary action. Check soil level and compaction. |
| Water is not draining into the reservoir. | Drainage holes blocked or wicking cell not properly seated. | Inspect and clear any blockages in the wicking cell system. Re-seat the wicking cell if necessary. |
| Garden bed is difficult to move. | Wheels locked or obstructed. | Unlock all wheels. Clear any debris from around the wheels. Ensure the path is smooth. |
| Paint scratching during assembly. | Friction between metal panels during connection. | Exercise caution during assembly, especially when connecting panels. Consider placing a soft cloth between contact points if concerned. |
