Earthbox is a great solution for urban dwellers who want to grow their own but don’t have garden space. I will have to try one out firsthand next season. At first glance it looks like a winner:

• optional wheels so you can move it inside for the edges of the season when nights get nippy
• self regulating watering system
• add on staking system for climbing plants like tomatoes
• ready to grow starter kit for under $50 which includes soil, fertilizer, casters, watering system & box

What to grow?
Plenty. Strawberries, leeks, beans, artichokes, eggplant. There’s even diagrams to illustrate how to space the plants.

Ecomod: Green thumbs up.
I can’t say enough good things about this product, seriously. Like I always say, I’m a sucker for well thought out design. Clear diagrams, good information and links, easy to find the contact info if you need help, and it fills a need that’s responsible and healthy. There are even separate sections of the site that are tailored to Consumers, Educators, Dealers and Commercial Farming.
