I have been growing in earthboxes now for a couple of years. It’s a great way to grow. Space efficient, water efficient and it allows you to grow in areas where you otherwise could not – like on your deck, or on a concrete driveway/parking space.

If you don’t know what an earthbox is, see the link at the bottom of this post.

As I get going with growing this season, I’ll be posting more, but here are some results of past years earthbox growing. One of the great things about growing in earthboxes is the very efficient use of water – you don’t waste any water, and as long as you keep the compartment filled, the plants get exactly what they need.

You can grow strawberries in the same box for 3 years.

Peppers grow really well in earthboxes – it’s one of my favorite earthbox crops:

   Your plants look great. We grow a lot in pots cause the soil at our house in not so great. In our case it does require a bit more watering as the soil tends to dry out a bit, but the upside is you pay better attention to your plants that way.
