EarthBox
The EarthBox
is the product of a lifetime dream and eight years of diligent research.
This maintenance-free, award-winning, high-tech growing system makes
it possible for anyone, whether amateur or professional, to grow
superb vegetables or flowers. It’s perfect for small spaces
like patios, decks and apartment balconies.
The
patented EarthBox was developed by commercial farmers and proven
in the lab and on the farm. It controls soil conditions, eliminates
guesswork and more than doubles the yield of a conventional garden
-- with less fertilizer, less water and virtually no effort.
The
EarthBox’s plastic cover drastically reduces the water evaporation
rate and returns condensed water vapor to the potting mix. As the
plants draw water from the reservoir, they consume only what they
need to stay healthy. Plants cannot be over-watered or under-watered
if the reservoir is kept full. The plastic cover also prevents fertilizer
from being diluted or washed away by rain and inhibits the growth
of disease-causing mold, as well as the invasion of plant-eating
pests.
Years
of research have yielded the optimal number and arrangement of each
type of vegetable, fruit, herb or flower for healthy growing. Studies
have shown that the EarthBox can double yields, using less water
and fertilizer compared to conventional gardening. The EarthBox
has been designed so that you can’t over water and the only
way to underwater is to let the water reservoir run dry.
Casters enable
home gardeners to move the EarthBox outside during the day and inside
at night, extending the growing season by planting earlier and harvesting
later. The EarthBox can also be easily moved around the patio or
deck to increase or decrease the amount of time spent in the sun.
Since
the EarthBox uses ordinary potting mix, soil conditions in your
yard mean nothing. In fact, many people have tremendous EarthBox
gardens on their patios, balconies and decks. Almost any brand of
peat-based potting mix for containers or hanging plants will work.
The dimensions
of the EarthBox are 29 inches long, 13.5 inches wide and 11 inches
tall.
