EarthBoxes are a smart option for container gardening. They are efficient water users allowing a plant to grow considerably more substantial than expected from such a small container, and all water goes to the plant.

EarthBoxes have been tested here and in the gardens of some of our staff, and they work amazingly well.  The EarthBoxes produce more vegetables from a surprisingly small footprint because they are a growing system with moisture and fertilizer delivered slowly and regularly.  They have a plastic mulch cover and a water reservoir, so no water is lost to evaporation or drainage; it all goes to the plant.

Essentially, EarthBoxes are a passive hydroponic growing system.  Water and nutrients are in place, and the plant pulls water and fertilizer as needed. A water reservoir in the bottom of the box has an overflow vent, so it’s impossible to over water.

Someone worked the bugs out of this system; it just works, and if you are interested in container gardening with an eye toward water conservation, EarthBoxes have a few features that mean the plant uses all of the water wasting none to evaporation or runoff.

EarthBoxes are perfect for a new gardener. The experience will be rewarding and relatively trouble-free.  They are also perfect for the gardener who has downsized and does not have space for a large garden, or who is not as able-bodied as they used to be.  Gardening with an EarthBox is easy on the body, even more so if the EarthBox is raised up to waist level to eliminate bending.  Weeds are not a problem.  Come in and take a look.
