Earth Box Gardening

The Earth Box Gardening system sounds almost too good to be true. Here's what the inventor, Blake Whisenant promises: "higher yields, minimum maintenance, and gardening that is friendly to our environment. It can be used to grow tomatoes and peppers, herbs, flowers, salad and spinach, strawberries, even melons!
Earth Box with Optional Stake Kit
Here's how it works:
  1. Place the screen in the bottom and insert the watering tube.
  2. Fill the Earth Box all the way to the top with moist potting soil.
  3. Add 2 cups of granular fertilizer.
  4. Seal with the cover(included)
  5. Cut "X" shapes in the cover and plant seedlings.
  6. Keep the water reservoir filled. YOU CANNOT OVER WATER!
That's all there is to it. Plants have a constant supply of water and nutrients, without any guess work. Plus, your Earth Box includes wheels, so you can move it around your yard, deck or patio. What could be easier? I'm going to be planting 3 Earth Box gardens, just like I did last year. Look for my photos as the season progresses. Send me your Earth Box photos too, so we can see how your garden grows!
