 lives up to it's claims August 9, 2007

Last year I tried the `upside down planters' and they failed miserably. This year I decided to try self-watering containers after reading a book by Edward C. Smith. I ordered the Earth Box because it was set up ready to go. I was late getting started and needed to get the vegetables in as quickly as possible. Set up was very easy. I followed the directions as given as I filled the box. The only thing I wish they would change is to make the water fill tube of clear plastic so there is never a guess when it is time to fill the water reservoir. The tomato plant is healthy with many tomatoes on it. Bush Green bean, lettuce and greens are also doing well. Next year I plan to have more containers, add other vegetables and perhaps some flowers. Some plants do not want such good treatment. Herbs do better with less rich soil and need less water. They will just rot in self-watering containers.

I have planted herbs and most recently tomato plants in the EarthBox and I can't believe how well the plants are growing. Much superior to in ground planting.

I planted 6 basil seedlings in my earthbox a couple of weeks ago (after our last freeze) and they have basically doubled in size, very healthy, and very easy to care for once the initial planting was done. The 2 seedlings that I planted in the ground at the same time look comparatively weak. If you're an inexperienced gardener or have poor soil, the earthbox is a great alternative.

I purchased 8 and then bought 5 more. These really work well. Problem is, I can't eat the vegetables fast enough. Buy these and say goodbye to weeding. The watering system is fool proof.
growing spinach like crazy April 28, 2007

We got two of these and planted spinach seeds March 24. Today is April 26 and we are harvesting a "small bag" of spinach every two days. the watering by pouring in the tube is great. The plants always have water. The leaves don't get dirty because no sprinkling so the dirt doesn't get spattered up onto the leaves, much easier to rinse. Because of the great conditions we are able to have more plants than described in the literature. We have the plants 2" apart in 3 rows. Every other day we use little scissors to clip off the leaf with the stem. You can see new leaves starting to come up from the center of the plant. By the way the very first thing that comes up are two thin leaves then the regular leaves start to come up from the middle two at a time. We started by buying seed when the spinach scare started... then finally got the two containers. I also add a tsp of miracle grow mixed in a quart of water to the tube once a week. I didn't put any fertilizer in the original dirt mix when I planted the seed. We are very happy with the Earthbox.
