The Craftster Guide does not mention is that your box cover, the cover is a great way for pest plants in the Gulf once you have passed the embryonic stage. Pond Liners

After making my own DIY Earthboxes last year, this is the only way I’ll grow veggies from now on. I planted four tomato plants per tote…And twelve pepper plants per tote. Oh, and tons of basil in another. They all thrived!

We tried self-watering container vegetable gardening for our fall planting here in Florida. It has worked out fantastic for us. Solved a lot of our watering problems (sandy soil). The water reservoir holds enough water for a few days. We even grew corn, it got 8 feet tall with 2 ears per stalk, 8 stalks per container. We plan to do all our spring garden with this method. Our blog shows pics and details.

If this works even close to the real earthbox than you saved me LOTS of money. I will let you know how it worked.

I was reading your post and just wanted to see if you’ve heard of the Grow Box? I’ve tried it and it’s actually a bit better and a whole lot less expensive! They hold about a gallon and a half more water. Check it out at http://www.agardenpatch.com
Happy Gardening!

Doing this next summer (also bought and read the recommended book from the tutorial), thanks for the tip! I’m building wooden containers for mine to hide them a bit, and to be able to use cheap PP plastic containers that don’t do well in the sun over time. I’d love to do these covers reusing something. Any ideas?

I have tried container gardening, but find I get better results in the ground.
The problem is getting enough water on the plants when I am away for more than a few days.
However, the earth box looks pretty good and I am tempted to give it a try next summer.
