EarthBox Container Gardening System - Green |
|
|
The patented EarthBox container gardening system was developed by commercial farmers, and has been proven both in the lab and on the farm. This maintenance-free growing system controls soil conditions, eliminates guesswork, and more than doubles the yield of a conventional garden--with less fertilizer, less water, and virtually no effort...no digging, no weeding, and no guesswork! Grow tomatoes and other robust vegetables and aromatic herbs in any small space--balcony, patio, or even a rooftop! This revolutionary SIP (Sub-Irrigated Planter) is ideal for urban garden settings since it's portability and compact size allow you to grow healthy, fresh, even organic food where it never grew before! Unlike other raised bed gardens and planters, the EarthBox is self-watering, easily moveable and portable, and can be used to grow indoors.

Fantastic product - we have had our first boxes for over 10 years |
| For those of you considering purchasing an Earthbox, you will not be disappointed. You cannot over water them and they yield a high volume of product. If you havent tried herbs in them yet, DO IT! Our herbs were phneomenal this year. Our daughter accidently spilled a seed package into one and we werent sure what it was... shortly afterward we had celery! Celery from an earthbox is amazing. We are from Florida and have problems with carrots because of our soil and I made soup yesterday from our homegrown carrots. I am already planning to buy a few more for our spring garden. The first ones we ever bought? Over ten years ago and as useful and durable as the day we purchased them. Love, love, love Earthboxes. |

Amazing Results |
| I am handicapped and thanks to EarthBox I can enjoy gardening again. I am amazed at the volume of vegetables I have been able to grow. I have shown this to many perple who also want the Earthbox system for growing. I also ordered the organic replant kits and used organic soil so the vegetables have been healthy as well as very tasty. I highly recommend this system to anyone considering it. |

Lifesavers |
| I bought 10 Earth Boxes over 10 years ago and they are still going strong. We live in Las Vegas, NV where the soil is so hard and poor but with the earth boxes our garden is heaven. Thank you. I plan to get 10 more boxes soon. |

Great Results |
| My elderly neighbors bought 4. my neighbors dont get out much, they dont do much heavy lifting, they dont do much at all. They ask me to plant the boxes once a year with tomatoes and green peppers. I add new fresh top soil $2.00 a box and time release ferts. every year... and they keep the boxes watered. the boxes get all day sun and shade to part sun in afternoon. They drink their beer with others that stop by, and just keep the boxes watered. The boxes are off the ground and on cement blocks. I think the combination of good air circulation, watering, ferts and not caring ...gives my elderly neighbors the advantage. the boxes are perfect for them. My Neighbors have earned the bragging rights to great produce... smiles [ North Andrews Gardens ] Fort Lauderdale Florida [ MAY 2011] |

Mixed Feelings |
| I am not sure but I suspect that it is just me. I have read nothing but outstanding results but I have yet to have any luck. I have had the Earth Box System with auto watering for 5 years. I Have only tried tomatoes and I have yet to get a single tomato that I would consider respectable size. I have never had a problem with the plants. They grow like crazy up to 6 feet high. Every year they have been the most health looking tomato plants I have ever seen. My problem has been the fruit. once the fruit starts to develop the plant dies and the tomatoes never get much bigger than a golf ball. This year I tried two different types of tomatoes one was called a Brandy Wine and the other was a Beef Steak hoping I might get better results. This year was also the first time I got a significant quantity of tomatoes, I would guess about 100 or more but there was not a one of them bigger than a golf ball. As the tomatoes started to develop the plant died from the bottom up. The fruit all ripened OK and they were very tasty just no size to them. This was the best year I have had so far. The previous years I would be lucky if I got 15 to 20 tomatoes and they were never bigger than a golf ball. I am sure it is me doing something wrong after seeing everyone elses results. So it probably is not fair for me to rate the box at only 3 stars. The only reason I rated it as a 3 is that I thought it would have been a pretty fool proof system but with the same poor results for 5 years I guess I found a way to mess it up. |

Loving my EarthBoxes! |
| We bought an EarthBox several years ago to try in NH. We had moved here and found it difficult to get vegetables to grow and produce before the growing seasons ended. The EarthBox was the answer to our problem. We bought several more and grow our vegetables in these. I am purchasing one for my childrens school and trying the MiniGarden myself this year! |

Grows well in Southern Ontario |
| I live right downtown. I have four boxes, and would buy 100 if I had the space. My tiny backyard faces north, so the sunlight is not great. Nevertheless, I grow tomatoes, eggplants, peppers, cucumbers, zucchini, peas and beans. I have so much produce that I share lots with my neighbours. |

Gardening made easy |
| As a life long vegetable gardener I’ve always lived in areas that didn’t provide the proper elements for in-ground gardening. I resorted to containers. I’ve grown vegetables in any container I could find that was big enough to hold my veggies. This provided a satisfactory yield but I always though things could be better.
I found Earthbox through those mailers that seem to come in every package of coupons I received. I was suspicious at first but after investigating, it just made sense. I bought 5
Earthboxes after checking the Earthbox website and finding a great deal on boxes that had some minor flaws.
I planted exactly per the supplied instructions and was amazed at how much more tomatoes and peppers I harvested. These boxes truly improve your harvest. Not only that there is no weeding! I could go on and on but suffice it to say I now have 30 boxes.
The boxes are well made. They hold up well in the Florida sun and they make gardening a lot easier |
