If you are growing various vegetables on your property, then a veggie hod is a necessity among your gardening equipment. And you can easily make one yourself!
A veggie hod is a simple but very handy gardening item that makes it easier to harvest and bring vegetables to the kitchen!
You can make a vegetable hod using excess timber and wire mesh if you have any from previous DIY projects. Take note that it’s important to use timber like cedar for this project since the purpose of this hod is to easily carry all harvest at once and wash them right in the veggie hod before bringing them inside the house. Some timbers simply won’t stand up to being constantly damp.
Think you need a vegetable hod for your garden? You can do this as your weekend project!
